Getting ready to do my weight and balance tomorrow. I notice on page 14-10 of the construction manual it says:
"Aircraft weighed in level flight attitude, (includes 8 qts. of oil, no fuel.)"
I plan to run my 0-320 D3G with 6 qts. and fill at 5. Why do W&B with 8 qts?
If the engine was burning so much oil that I had to fill to 8 to ensure a safe flight, I wouldn't fly.
Thanks
