Purpose

This Advisory Circular (AC) describes an acceptable means of compliance with standards for fire prevention and other safety measures carried out by a person involved in aircraft fuelling. It does not override procedures developed by recognised and certificated fuel company suppliers.

Related rules

This AC relates to Civil Aviation Rules 91.15, 121.91, 125.73, 135.73 and Part 139. It would also be of interest to adventure aviation aeroplane and helicopter operators, agricultural aircraft operators, and aerodrome operators.

Change notice

Revision 3 is not a substantive update to this AC. It fixes typos, standardises spelling and makes other stylistic changes to align with current AC format. It also updates some references and deletes a reference to the Hazardous Substances (Classes 1 to 5 Controls) Regulations, 2001, which have been revoked.
