A good pilot......
All good pilots... like Skymaster owners... know where the dip stick goes into the pan on the engine... and levels accordingly...
But,.....
Just in case some are missing the levels... if the fwd engine reads low and the rear reads high... and the front engine has a crutch under the spinner to hold it up...and the wheel rim has a flat spot on the bottom... it might be in a nose down position...
However,....
If the front engine reads high and is hard to get at... and the rear engine reads low... and the prop has bent tips... and the booms have a new bend in them at less than 45 degrees up... and the rudder strikes are ground off... then you know the plane is in the nose high attitude...
How much difference in the oil level will depend on what weight the oil is... and if it has been aireated from flying inverted...
all these factors need to be considered before you can determine if its a quart low or not.. before you decide if you want to go fly it.... smile GMAs
