What is the minimum fuel requirement when operating solo in pounds?

The minimum fuel requirement when operating solo in the T-6A is 200 pounds. This requirement is established to ensure that the aircraft has enough fuel to complete the mission safely, with an adequate reserve for contingencies that may arise during flight. When flying solo, this minimum helps ensure that there is sufficient fuel for the flight profile, including any necessary approaches or potential diversions to alternate airfields. Having 200 pounds of fuel allows for safe operation while balancing performance and safety margins, thus making this requirement critical for pilot training and operational practices.
