Pattern Altitude
We had a Liberty stop in the other day. It is the first one I have seen. The fueling port is high on the fuselage immediately behind the pilot side gull wing cockpit door. The cabin forms sort of a tub below the level of the bottom of the door opening. We had a left quartering tail wind when ready to fuel and the pilot had left the door open.
How is this different that the videos you see of a boat going up in flames after being fueled and having the gas fumes collect in the boat?
I pointed out my concern to the pilot and we closed the door before fueling.
Unless there is something that I don't understand about the situation, this seems like something that Liberty should be warning owners about and maybe it needs a warning placard near the fuel port.
