Fuel Capacity (cont’d) *Fuel which cannot be drained from the tank through the drain provided - with the
helicopter in the normal ground attitude
**Fuel which cannot be used safely in all flight attitudes, and which cannot be
included in the empty weight. This includes trapped fuel.
Note: Fuel capacities are total tank capacities over and above unusable fuel. Fuel
weights are based on JP-4 fuel.
