WARNING: DO NOT SPILL FUEL ON THE ENGINES OR THE BRAKES. IF YOU SPILL FUEL ON EN
GINES OR BRAKES THAT ARE HOT, IT CAN CAUSE FIRES.

A. Safety Precautions
Ref. Fig. Refuel Safety Area
(1) You must obey the Fuel Safety Procedures Ref. AMM TASK 28-00-00-910-001 when y
ou refuel/defuel an aircraft.
(2) Do not let the tanker go near the aircraft until the anti-collision lights have been set t
o OFF.
(3) Before you start the refuel/defuel procedure, make sure that all the electrical circuits i
n the fuel system are complete.
(4) Do not spill fuel on the engines or the brakes. If you spill fuel on engines or brakes th
at are hot, it can cause fires.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU BOND THE FUEL TANKER TO THE AIRCRAFT. IF
YOU DO NOT, AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN CA
USE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
(5) Obey the local regulations for grounding (earthing) the aircraft. If you must ground (e

NOTE: AIRBUS recommends that the park brake is set to ON when possible. You ca
nnot set the PARK BRK to ON if you have hot brakes. If you cannot set the P
ARK BRK to ON, it is possible to continue but you must make sure the chock
s are in the correct position.
(11) Make sure that the chocks are in position. The correct position for the chocks are:
NOTE: This makes sure that only chocks on one side of each tire will be caug
ht so that it is easier to release them.
(12) Make sure that there is no equipment below the aircraft which can cause damage. Th
e 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

NOTE: In an emergency it is permitted to refuel with one engine running (Ref. FCO
M PER-LOD-FUL).
(19) Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) starts or shutdowns are permitted during refuel/ defuel pr
ocedures. If it is necessary to operate the APU, the limits that follow apply:
(a) An APU start is not permitted during a refuel/defuel procedure if the APU has fa
iled to start or an automatic shutdown has occurred.
(b) You must complete a normal APU shutdown if a fuel spill has occurred during th
e refuel/defuel procedure.
(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 dan
gerous.
(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 oxyge
n bottles.
(24) During the refuel/defuel procedure do only essential aircraft maintenance and/or servi
cing 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 e
lectrical 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/defu
el 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 operati
on of the weather radar.
(31) Obey the safety distances for 30 m (98.43 ft.) from aircraft:
(a) Aircraft must not be refueled/defueled less than 30 m (98.43 ft.) from the rada
r or HF radio equipment under test in the aircraft or ground installation.
(32) Obey the safety distances for 15 m (49.21 ft.) from aircraft:
(a) Put "NO SMOKING" warning notices around the work area not less than 15 m
(49.21 ft.) from the refuel/defuel equipment and aircraft and aircraft tank vent
s.
(b) Do not connect electrical equipment to a power source less than 15 m (49.21 f
t.) away, unless the power source has spark-proof connectors.
(c) Refueling/defueling equipment and aircraft fuel-tank vents must not be nearer t
han 15 m (49.21 ft.) to a building during refueling/defueling. Make sure the po
sition of the refueling/defueling area cannot let this occur. Because of the desig
n of some buildings, you can do refueling/defueling operations nearer than 15
m (49.21 ft.). Examples of this type of building are nose loaders and aerobridg
es.
(33) Obey the safety distances for 3 m (10 ft.) from aircraft:
Ref. Fig. Refuel Safety Area
(a) Ground power units (GPU's) can be operated when they are put not less than 3
m (10 ft.) from:
- the aircraft filling and venting points
- the hydrant valves and other refuel/defuel equipment when in use.
(b) Photographic flash bulbs or electronic flash equipment must not be used less th
an 3 m (10 ft.) from:
- the refuel/defuel equipment
- any filling or venting points of the aircraft.
(c) The refuel/defuel zone must be regarded as extending not less than 3 m (10 f
t.) radially from:
- the filling and venting points on the aircraft
- the refuel/defuel equipment
- the hydrant valve in use for refueling (when applicable).
When defueling is taking place, the vehicle will be venting and will generate a z
one radiating from the tank vent.
(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.
