All images shown in the following series are courtesy of the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO); Nashville, Tennessee. Two sets of images are available--one for aircraft number 17274599 and one for aircraft number 72RG0003. The images were taken during test performed on each aircraft's integral wing tank to record observable water that could not be drained by preflight check sumping or drained using installed drainage systems. In these images, fuel appears as a transparent fluid with a light blue tint. Water appears red in the images (red food color was added to make the water visible for test purposes). |
