INTRODUCTION
Certain IATA Member airlines, Oil industry and Into-Plane Fuelling Companies recognised the need to
develop Aircraft Fuelling Procedures in a standard style and format, particularly when fuelling company
employees began to take over responsibility for operating the aircraft fuelling system switches from the
Airlines, with the goal of ensuring that refuelling would be carried out safely and accurately. The
standardization of the into-plane fuelling operation would also bring huge cost savings to the industry in the
training of fuelling operatives.
To achieve these objectives, the IATA Technical Fuel Group (TFG), formely Aviation Fuel Working Group
(AFWG) formed a Steering Group, of Airlines, Airframe Manufacturers and Fuelling Companies whose
mandate was to develop simplified refuelling procedures to ensure that a standard format can be used for
similar refuelling procedures for the same type of aircraft.
Four different Levels of service have been defined, and simplified procedures to cover the vast majority of
routine refuellings have been developed for each type of aircraft. A recommended Aircraft Refuel Sheet has
also been developed by Into-plane Fuelling Companies/Operators, the adoption of which is paramount to the
final success of the project.
It is proposed to revise this IATA Guidance Material, whenever significant changes need to be introduced
and/or to include additional aircraft types.

CHAPTER 2 SAFETY
This procedure is only valid in conjunction with AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL; FUEL SYSTEM SERVICING; ATA 12-11 effectivity ALL and Airline and Into-Plane Companies Manuals.
2.1
Ensure the Fuelling Vehicle and equipment conforms to the relevant, recognised standards and
are subject to a regular maintenance programme.
2. F
Fuel vehicles and systems should be fitted with emergency shut-off mechanisms.
3. A
F
Ensure a locally agreed Fuelling Area and/or Fuelling Zone is established with the airport
authority.
4. AF All personnel involved in the operation should be made aware that during the fuelling operation;
potentially explosive vapour is expelled via the aircraft vent points. Electrical equipment and
vehicles with hot parts must not be positioned close to the fuel vent points
5. AF All personnel involved in the fuelling of aircraft should be familiar with how to summon the Airport
Fire Service.
6. AF A fuelling supervisor or fuelling safety person may need to be appointed in some locations and all
fuelling vehicles should be under the control of a least one competent, trained person.
7. AF Tank fuellers and hydrant dispensers should have a clear exit path at all times.
8. AF Fuelling shall be suspended when electrical storms are in close proximity. Guidance may be
sought from the Airport Authority, Air Traffic Control or the Flight Deck Crew, as appropriate.
9. A
Ensure that there is no equipment below the aircraft, which could cause damage when the aircraft
descends during refuelling.
10. A
Ensure that the aircraft wheel chocks have been positioned in accordance with normal operating
procedures. Make sure that their chocks do not touch the tires. The added fuel weight can cause
the tires to compress and subsequently prevent the removal of the chocks.
11. F
Fuelling vehicles should be positioned such that they do not obstruct access to the aircraft for
rescue or fire fighting vehicles or obstruct the evacuation routes, including chute deployment
areas.
12
When in position, the driver shall not leave the cabin until the parking brakes have been applied
and locked in position.
Do NOT refuel the aircraft if a fire or engine overheat warning is displayed on the flight deck.
15. AF Do NOT refuel the aircraft if any part of the landing gear appears unusually hot, e.g. hot brakes.
The Fire Service should be called in this event.
16
AF Make sure that the overboard vent lines are not blocked. If they are blocked, damage to the fuel
tanks can occur.
17. A
Do NOT refuel the aircraft within 30m of radar or HF radio equipment that is under test or
operating in aircraft or ground installations.
18. A
Do NOT operate the aircraft main engines during the fuelling operation, (except when following
specific procedures.)
19. F
Do NOT approach the aircraft until the aircraft anti-collision lights have been switched off and the
aircraft is chocked.
November 2007
3-1
21. A
22. A
Only checking and limited maintenance work such as the exchange of units shall be allowed on
radio, radar and electrical equipment during fuelling. Installation or removal of aircraft batteries or
associated equipment should not be allowed. Testing of such equipment should be deferred until
fuelling is completed.
23. A
Ensure procedures are in place if fuelling with passengers on board, embarking or disembarking.
24. AF Ensure procedures are in place stating action required in the event of a fuel spill. Suspend fuelling
immediately if a leakage is observed at the aircraft fuel vent points.
25. A
A
A
F
Do NOT start or stop the APU during the refuel/defuel task on aircraft with body-mounted
APUs. APU Start attempts and Shutdowns are permitted on aircraft with tail-mounted
APUs
The following procedures apply to all aircraft types:
1. No Start attempt of the APU is allowed during the refuel/defuel task following an
Automatic Shutdown or Failed Start
2. Normal APU Shutdown must be carried out in the event of a fuel spill during a
refuel/defuel task
If the APU exhaust discharges cross the upper surface of an aircraft wing, overwing
fuelling must not be carried out while the APU is running.
F
A
If the APU exhaust discharges to the side or rear of the aircraft, fuelling vehicles should be
positioned to avoid any risk of coming in the path of the exhaust stream.
In the event of a fire in an APU, the unit shall be stopped, the APU fire extinguishing
system activated, and the flight crew and/or cabin crew and the Airport Fire Services shall
be alerted.
AF In the event of a fuel spill, fuelling shall be stopped and the airline representative or aircraft
crew informed immediately. Unload and Shutdown the APU. The APU must NOT be
restarted until the spillage is removed and there is no further risk from fuel or vapours.
26. A
27. A
Ground Power Units (GPUs) should not be positioned within 6 metres of fuelling equipment and
vent points.
Within the Fuelling Zone ensure that:
Smoking and use of naked lights is prohibited
Radios, radio telephones, pagers, torches, lamps and lighting systems are intrinsically safe, or are
of an approved type.
Only authorised persons and vehicles are permitted.
No all metal wheels or metal studded tyres are used.
Photographic flash equipment shall not be used within 6 metres of fuelling equipment and vent
points.
All personnel working in or around the aircraft must assume fuelling is taking place while an
aircraft is being prepared for service.
Passengers should not be permitted.
Vehicle engines should not be left running unnecessarily.

Fuelling Procedure
2.2
CAUTION
Electrostatic charge may accumulate on the surface of the aircraft or fuelling vehicle. The aircraft and the
fuelling vehicles must be electrically bonded together throughout the fuelling operation to ensure that no
difference in potential exist between the units.
Electrostatic charge may also build up in the fuel during fuelling and if the charge is of sufficient potential, can
cause sparking within the aircraft tank. The use of a static dissipater additive in the fuel can contribute
materially to reducing the risk involved. A reduction in flow rate may be necessary if a static dissipater is not in
the fuel.
Strong winds can also cause a build up of static electricity. Large charges of static electricity can develop on
support equipment while parked.
On some aircraft, changing or removing the electrical power source during the fuelling operation will close the
aircraft fuelling valves, which can result in damage to the fuelling equipment.

INTRODUCTION
The standardised fuel sheet has been developed by Into Plane Operators to standardise the FORMAT such
that the refuelling operator is presented with a form that the boxes and calculations are always done the
same.
This recommended format allows the airline to customise the headings, by ADDING or DELETING such as
SECTOR from & to items in the Flight No and DATE box. The required number of Tanks and weight
unit (kgs/litres or lbs/usg) applicable to the aircraft type should also be changed as required, as can the
Operator No. and Signatures.
The format has also been developed such that it can easily be computerised such that it does not follow
what many may consider a normal fuel sheet layout.
It should also be noted that Stick calculations are not included as the IATA Standardisation project only
covered 95% of refuels, that were considered a normal refuel.
It should be stressed again that it is the FORMAT that is being standardised.
4.2
BEFORE FUELLING:
Note required Flight No. etc as required / applicable.
a)
Check the units (kgs or lbs) required are the same as aircraft gauges.
b)
Note down the aircraft gauge readings or Total in the Tanks Before box.
c)
Fill in the Desired box with fuel required if not already generated by the computer and add to
obtain a Total desired.
d)
Take away (minus) the Total Before from Total Desired to obtain amount of fuel To ADD
e)
Divide this To ADD figure by the Density to obtain Amount to ADD in volume (litres or
usg).
DURING FUELLING
f)
Monitor aircraft gauges as required by Aircraft Fuelling Procedures and fuelling vehicle meter
to ensure an over fuelling situation does not occur.
AFTER FUELLING
g)
Fill in the Actual Uplift box with total volume uplifted according to the fuelling vehicle meter.
h)
Obtain the difference between the Actual Uplift and Amount to ADD and put this figure in
the Difference +/- box, noting if + or .

GLOSSARY OF TERMINOLOGY
AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM. The pressure fuelling system is normally controlled by a Fuel Control Panel,
which provides the means to fill the aircraft fuel tanks. During fuelling the fuel quantity indicating system
measures fuel mass or volume and prevents the fuel quantity from exceeding the maximum quantity approved
for each tank. Some older aircraft uses a float switch to cut off refuelling when the maximum quantity is
reached.
TANK IDENTIFICATION. The fuel tanks are often referred to as main or main wing tanks, wing tanks, and
reserve tanks, located in the wing structure. Centre or centre wing tanks and/or auxiliary tanks can be in the
wing root and across the fuselage, while alternate and stabilizer and trim tanks can be located in the fuselage
or tail sections.
FUELLING STATION or PANEL.
a.
LOCATION The fuelling station(s) is (are) are normally located in the left, right, or both leading
edges of the wing, out-board or between the aircraft engines. On some aircraft it may be situated in the
fuselage.
b.
Each station contains a fuelling receptacle(s) coupling or adaptor, which may or may not be fitted with
a dust cap, bonding point(s), a light, an interphone jack and may include the Fuel Control Panel. If it is a
requirement for a fuelling cap to be fitted, then these aircraft should not be despatched without a cap fitted.
FUEL CONTROL PANEL or AIRCRAFT REFUEL PANEL. The fuelling operation is conducted from the
Fuel Control Panel located either at the fuelling station, on the wing or fuselage and may be duplicated on the
flight deck.
Most panels consist of:
Indication and system test switches.
Defuel valve switch and valve position light.
Battery power switch.
Fuel quantity and load select displays.
Refuel valve control switches and valve position lights.
Other components may include:
Overfill test switch, overfill reset switch and an overfill indication light.
Load select quantity thumbwheels.
A totaliser/backup fuel quantity indicator. Total load select and backup display tank select button.
FUELLING RECEPTACLE/COUPLING or ADAPTOR. The fuelling receptacle is the connection for the
fuelling hose to connect to the aircraft and joins to the aircraft fuelling manifold.
AIRCRAFT FUELLING MANIFOLD. The aircraft fuelling manifold assembly normally consists of the fuelling
manifold body, which supplies fuel from the fuelling receptacle to the fuelling valves. Fuelling check valves
prevent the flow of fuel from the fuel tanks back into the fuelling manifold.
FUELLING VALVES. These valves control fuel flow to the fuel tanks. An electrical solenoid normally controls
the valve for most aircraft, while the fuel pressure opens and closes the valve. A manual override feature for
each valve permits manual operation in the event of a mechanical or electrical power failure to the fuelling
valves or if electrical power is not available.
November 2007
5-1
DEFUEL VALVE. If installed, this valve allows fuel to be brought from each tank to the fuelling manifold for
fuel transfer or defuelling operation.
TANK VENTING. The fuel vent system keeps the fuel tanks near ambient pressure during
refuelling/defuelling operations. Each fuel tank is vented through channels in the wing to a surge tank located
near each wing tip.
SURGE TANKS. If a tank overfills, a float switch or level sensor in the surge tank will normally close off all
fuel valves. Some aircraft have an overfill indicator (IND) light on the refuel panel that will come on showing
that shutoff has occurred.
HIGH LEVEL SHUTOFF. When a tank reaches full there are 3 methods of shut off.
a. VSO - Volumetric Shut Off
b. VTO - Volumetric Top Off
c. Float Switch
On most modern aircraft, the Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS) computer software will be set to shut off
the refuel valves when the VTO or VSO limit is reached.
FLIGHT DECK COMPONENTS
a. Fuel Quantity Indication or Indicators
b. Boost Pumps
c. Override/Jettison Pumps
d. Crossfeed Valves
e. Optional Fuel Control Panel
ELECTRICAL POWER. Power is required to utilise fuel quantity indicators and fuelling valve switches.
EXTERNAL POWER. Jetty/Jetway fixed power or ground power unit (GPU) is the most common means to
provide power for fuelling control circuits.
INTERNAL POWER
a. Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) - if APU is to be used as the power source, it should be running
before commencing fuelling. A qualified person should perform the task to supply power from this
source.
b. APU supply tank - APU fuel is normally supplied from the left tank or can be supplied from other
tanks by specific procedure depending on aircraft model.
c. Battery - if APU or external power is not available, fuelling is often possible using aircraft battery
power.
d. Engines Running in exceptional circumstances power may be provided from an aircraft engine
running on the opposite side to the fuel connection and provided special procedures are in place. A
qualified person should perform the task to supply power from an operating engine. This procedure
is prohibited at some airports; always refer to local regulations, which must be followed.
FUEL QUANTITY VERIFICATION. To verify fuel quantity, measuring sticks are installed in the fuel tanks. It
should be noted that these are less accurate than the aircraft gauging system, and are dependent on aircraft
attitude in both pitch and roll conditions.

Glossary of Terminology
MEASURING STICKS. There are two types of fuel measuring sticks used to manually determine fuel
quantity level in the airplane tanks whenever verification of fuel quantity indication is required. These
measuring sticks are marked in inches, pounds, kilograms or units, which are normally read flush with the
wing skin (certain aircraft differ, where the inside plane of the drip stick holder can be the reference point, such
as the Boeing 727).
Magnetic type or Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) - the fuel stick consists of a float assembly, a stick housing,
and the measuring stick. The float assembly contains a magnet and floats on the fuel. The measuring stick
contains a Steel armature at its top end that is free to slide up and down in the stick housing. When the steel
armature is in the magnetic field of the magnet in the float, the float will hold the stick from its top end. The
bottom of the stick will extend from the lower wing surface. After fuelling of the tank is complete, it is
recommended to allow the fuel level to stabilize briefly before taking a final stick reading.
Drip-Type - drip-type sticks consist of a hollow rod with calibrated markings on its exterior. The rod is open on
the top end, and closed on the bottom end, except for a small drip hole just above the bottom flange. The rod
is mounted in a housing in the lower wing surface. When the top of the rod is lowered to the top surface of the
fuel in a tank fuel will begin to flow down through the core of the rod and out of the drip hole. Fuel level may
oscillate up and down in the tank immediately after fuelling. After fuelling of the tank is complete, it is
recommended to allow the fuel level to stabilize briefly before taking a final stick reading.
Some older aircraft may use a hollow graduated tube, where the lower end is not sealed. Fuel will therefore
flow quickly out of the tube once the upper end is below the level of the fuel surface and will drain the tank if
left extended.
