What does the outer probe of the wing fuel provide?

The outer probe of the wing fuel system provides a reading of 445 +/- 50 pounds. This measurement is significant as it represents the fuel quantity in the wing tanks of the T-6A, which plays a critical role in flight planning, aircraft performance calculations, and ensuring there is enough fuel for the mission. Understanding the fuel status is essential for maintaining operational safety and efficacy during flight operations.

The provided weight range also accounts for potential variations in the actual fuel load, reflecting the system's ability to give a reliable estimate of the fuel available for use. Knowing this helps pilots make informed decisions regarding fuel management and overall aircraft performance.
