So you screwed up. Man up and admit it, don't put your mistakes on ATC. Your fuel gauges worked didn't they? Less than 30 minutes of fuel remaining on either engine, that's emergency time.
Yes I've paid my dues in aviation just like you are now. |

Uhm.. according to the regs, the fuel gauges are only required to be accurate at tanks empty (if my memory serves me right). And our owner accepts it to leave it that way, so 90% of the time, our gauges are over 1/2 a tank off. And seeing how this is the first time either me or the other crew member had flown this particular plane, we weren't aware. But yes, "we" screwed up, but the ATC delays were a contributing factor in the screw up. Who said we had less than 30 minutes of fuel remaining on either engine? We still had 60 gallons of fuel in the right nacalle tank, granted we didn't know that at the time of the incident.
