What is the maximum difference in fuel between wings during T-6 flight?

The maximum difference in fuel between the wings during T-6 flight is indeed 50 lbs. This limit is established to ensure proper aircraft balance and performance. When the fuel load is unevenly distributed between the wings, it can lead to asymmetric flight characteristics, which may complicate handling and adversely affect the aircraft's stability.

Maintaining a maximum difference of 50 lbs helps pilots manage the center of gravity and ensures that the aircraft remains controllable under various flight conditions. Exceeding this limit could potentially result in a situation where the aircraft becomes difficult to maneuver or requires excessive corrective control inputs, compromising overall safety. This limit is particularly important during critical phases of flight such as takeoff, approach, and landing where balanced fuel distribution is essential for optimal performance.
