FLIGHT MANUAL
Water is dumped from the fin tank through an opening on the underside of
the fuselage tail boom - adjacent to the rudder.
The fin tank dump valve is linked to the torsional drive for the valves in the
main wing panels so that these three tanks are always emptying
simultaneously.
The time required to dump the ballast from a fuII fin tank is about two (2)
minutes, therefore draining the full tanks of the main wing panels always
takes longer.
