1. Why Meter Calibration Matters

Fuel meters measure the amount of fuel delivered to aircraft, and even small inaccuracies can lead to big headaches:

  • Over-delivering fuel can waste thousands of dollars over time.

  • Under-delivering fuel can leave pilots short, disrupting schedules and operations.

  • Inconsistent readings make maintenance tracking and inventory management tricky.

A well-calibrated meter keeps fuel delivery safe, accurate, and predictable — eliminating the “ghosts” in your operations.

2. Signs Your Meter May Be Haunted

Even if your meter looks fine, subtle issues can create spooky surprises. Watch for:

  • Strange or inconsistent readings compared to previous deliveries.

  • Fuel discrepancies in tanks that can’t be explained by usage.

  • Error messages or alarms on digital meters.

Ignoring these warning signs is like leaving your haunted house door open — you never know what might creep in!
