Hello,
Once again the forest service is casting blame on the aircraft when it is the operators that are at fault. A Piper Seneca landed with due to fuel exhaustion on a forest service mission and we aren't seeing any emergency directives on that. If you don't put gas in the plane you will run out! That is the pilots responsibility. When these pilots screw up they try to cover their asses and blame their equipment. Perhaps the forest service should fire the companies that don't train their pilots or maintain their equipment and get someone who does. My .02 cents.
