Unusable Fuel Quantity

 

X-achsis shows angle of attack (-9° = ground position), Y-achsis shows unusable fuel quantity in liters.

Since normal maximum downward degree is 4,5 degrees, an unusable fuel quantity of 9 liters per tank is appropriate. Of course there is an additional extensive protocol available for these tests.
