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.
v
CHAPTER 1 — LEVELS OF SERVICE
There are FOUR (4) Levels of Into-Plane Fuelling Service ranging from the least complex, as outlined in
Level 1 requirements, to the most complex, as outlined in Level 4.
The Fuelling Personnel will be considered to be an Authorised Refueller, qualified to operate aircraft switches
to refuel aircraft, if they have successfully completed the training provided by an Approved Fuelling Instructor.
Training will include each aircraft fleet type assigned to the station, including diversion fleet types.
Details of the requirements are identified in the Fuelling operative Levels 1 through 4.
(17)The Fuelling Personnel has final responsibility to verify that all hoses and static grounding/
bonding attachments have been disconnected from aircraft (including hydrant pit, where
applicable) and are properly stowed prior to moving fuelling vehicle.
(18)Perform walk around inspection.
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.
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 F When in position, the driver shall not leave the cabin until the parking brakes have been applied
and locked in position.
13. AF Suitable fire extinguishers should be provided and readily accessible.
14. A 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.
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.
3.1 GENERAL
These procedures are based on the Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Fuel System – Servicing; ATA 12-11, as
applicable effectivity ALL.
This procedure is only valid in conjunction with the Airline’s Fuel Manual and Fuel Safety Procedures, latest
Issue and Levels 2 & 3, provided the Fuelling Contract includes a liability clause for “ Additional Services “
covering the Service Level agreed upon by the partners ( Service Level Agreement – SLA ) .
Service Items and Procedures marked as SLA 2 or SLA 3 constitute "Additional Services" according to the
Fuelling Service Level Agreement, Items marked SLA 1 are "Normal Services".
WARNING : Fuelling procedure can only be started when all Safety Items of Section 2 are complied
with. Failure to obey the safety precautions can cause serious injury to persons and damage to the
equipment.
This Fuelling procedure is generic and is applicable to all aircraft types. These Tasks are included in Levels 2
and 3 Fuelling Procedures.

4.1 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
