Safety Advisory Notice

The ATSB suggests that CASA, through its industry publications,
inform operators and pilots of Cherokee Six aircraft that a fuel
selector control visual indication might not ensure selection of
the intended fuel tank. In that case, actual fuel tank selection
may be incorrect or partial, and result in the possibility for
inconsistent engine fuel supply. Pilots should confirm correct
visual fuel tank selection by detent feel.

Response Text

The issue will be addressed during the year with articles in
Flight Safety Australia (FSA) regarding fuel management practices.
However, the opportunity also exists for the ATSB to write
something on this matter in their section of FSA.
