Narrative:

Landing with fuel in auxiliary tanks. We rarely have auxiliary fuel on board and the location of gauges makes it difficult to scan with normal instrument xchk. I have included auxiliary tanks in my normal instrument and fuel xchks, even if I don't have auxiliary fuel on board, to prevent it from happening again. The inbound aircraft was late, we had a wheels-up time to make. I am going to try not to let myself feel rushed in those sits.
