CWT Usable Fuel

APPLICABLE TO N697NK, N698NK

Due to the fuel retention characteristics of the Invicta-FRS system, minute
amount of fuel shall stick to the Invicta components. This fuel gradually
drains down to the bottom of tank but still must be excluded from usable
fuel. Therefore, fuel retention and fuel displacement characteristics of
Invicta reduce the usable fuel capacity of the Center Wing Tank by up
to 42.9 US Gallons (or 287 lb or 130kg, approximately 2% of CWT usable
fuel capacity).
