What is the acceptable fuel capacity for T-6 to ensure safety?

The acceptable fuel capacity for the T-6 is 110 gallons total because this amount ensures that the aircraft can perform its intended missions while maintaining safe operational limits. This fuel capacity allows for a sufficient range and endurance required for training flights and other designated operations without compromising safety due to insufficient fuel reserves.

Exceeding this capacity may not be safe or suitable due to potential adverse effects on the aircraft's weight and balance, performance characteristics, and fuel management systems. Proper fuel management is critical, and adhering to the designated fuel capacities helps prevent scenarios where fuel starvation could occur during flight. Maintaining the fuel level at 110 gallons also allows for a safety margin that contributes to the overall reliability and safety of the T-6 during operations.
