A. Safety Precautions
MECH. INSP.
(6) Bond the fuel tanker to the aircraft Ref. AMM TASK
12-34-24-869-001.
(7) Move all the equipment and material which is not necessary for
the refuel/defuel procedure out of the safety area.
(8) On the panel 400VU, make sure that the ACCU PRESS on the
triple indicator has sufficient pressure. If necessary, pressurize
the yellow hydraulic system Ref. AMM TASK
29-10-00-863-002.
(9) If the Main Landing Gear (MLG) doors are open during the
refuel procedure:
- visually examine the tires and shock absorbers
- make sure you will have sufficient clearance to the
ground after the refuel is complete.
(10) On the panel 110VU, make sure that the PARK BRK is ON.
(11) Make sure that the chocks are in position. The correct position
for the chocks are:
MECH. INSP.
(12) Make sure that there is no equipment below the aircraft which
can cause damage. The weight of the fuel can suddenly
compress the landing gear and lower the aircraft.
(13) Before you start the refuel/defuel procedure make sure that
these are available:
- a fueling supervisor or fueling safety person
- the correct fire-fighting equipment
- approved persons to use the fire-fighting equipment.
(14) Make sure that the overboard vent lines are not blocked. If they
are blocked, damage to the fuel tanks can occur.
(15) Make sure that the fuel tanker (or hydrant) contains the correct
fuel. The correct fuels are shown in the Flight Manual (Ref. FM
2.04.00).
(16) Make sure that the fuel tanker or the pump unit (if you use a
hydrant to refuel the aircraft) is in the correct position.
(17) Make sure that, if there is an emergency, you can move the
fuel tanker/pump unit and the other equipment away quickly.
(18) Do not operate the aircraft main engines during a refuel/defuel
procedure.
MECH. INSP.
(20) Make sure that the electrical equipment you use will not cause
a spark.
(21) Do not refuel/defuel in bad weather conditions and electrical
storms. Lightning is dangerous.
(22) During the refuel/defuel procedure do not operate the aircraft
external lighting.
(23) During the refuel/defuel procedure do not fill the oxygen system
or change the oxygen bottles.
(24) During the refuel/defuel procedure do only essential aircraft
maintenance and/or servicing that will not cause a spark.
(25) Do not refuel the aircraft if a fire or engine overheat warning is
displayed on the flight deck.
(26) You are only permitted to replace or do small maintenance
work on radio, radar and electrical equipment during refueling.
(27) You are not permitted to remove, install or test aircraft batteries
or related equipment during refueling.
(28) Do not use the microphone on the High Frequency (HF)
transmitter during refuel/defuel operations.
(29) Immediately flush away with water, or remove, fuel leakage.
(30) Obey the safety distances for 60 m (196.85 ft.) from aircraft:
(a) Stop the fuel tanker 60 m (196.85 ft.) from the aircraft
nose while the weather radar operates. Do not operate
the fuel tanker/pump unit until you stop operation of the
weather radar.
MECH. INSP.
(31) Obey the safety distances for 30 m (98.43 ft.) from aircraft:
(32) Obey the safety distances for 15 m (49.21 ft.) from aircraft:
(33) Obey the safety distances for 3 m (10 ft.) from aircraft:
MECH. INSP.
(d) Do not operate the items that follow inside the 3 m (10
ft.) zone:
- radios
- radio telephones (cell phones or mobile
phones)
- pagers
- switches on lighting systems of other than
intrinsically safe types.
