                           PART 1-DESCRIPTIVE

        mately 15 seconds flight under negative G conditions.
        Wing drop tanks may be carried and may be jettisoned
        by pulling back the WING TANKS JETTISON lever
        positioned between the seats.

   (b)  The total internal fuel is 330 gallons made up as
 	    follows:-
 	    
                                                 lb.
 	                             Gallons    AVTAG
                                             (7.7 lb./gall.)
                                             
        Fuselage tanks	...	...   	 96	  739
        Inner wing tanks 2 X 53 gall.	106	  816
        Outer wing groups 2 X 64 gall.  128	  985
                  Total internal	330	2,540
        Wing drop tanks 2 X 100 gall.   200	1,540
                Total (all tanks)	530	4,080                              
                                             
 	   
   3.   Fuel contents gauge

        A single electrical fuel contents gauge (18) calibrated in
        pounds registers the combined fuel contents of all internal
        tanks when the Ground/Flight switch is at Flight, and is
        mounted centrally on the instrument panel.   When
        SRIM 2284 is embodied the gauge is moved to the port
        instrument panel.  There is no fuel gauge for the drop
        tanks; the main gauge will begin to show a drop in fuel
        level when the drop tanks have emptied.

 	    	        
   4.   Fuel asymmetry gauges Canceled AL.2
   
        Mod. 3598 introduces a fuel asymmetry gauge, having
               three indicator needles.  The two upper needles indicate
               the port and starboard wing fuel contents and the bottom
               needle indicates fuel asymmetry.   This asymmetry needle
               moves over a green sector, for "safe-to-spin"
               conditions, with red sectors on either side of the green
               indicating the "unsafe-to-spin" condition.   The needle
               moves in the direction of the heavy wing.   When the
               needle is in the green sector the fuel asymmetry does not
               exceed 30 gallons (230 lb.) maximum.
