LOADING
Practical aviation fuel training — instruction, guided practice, practical assessment, competence decisions and certificates, with every module traceable to its source procedure.
Receive a fuel delivery into the farm under control, from tank status to settling and testing.
The source wording is unclear, misspelled or uses an unverified unit. The original is kept as it stands — an authorised person confirms the final wording before the module can be published.
DENISTY
Procedure 13, line 18
Record the density in the tank before the delivery.
Reason Source wording is misspelled (“DENISTY”) — confirm the intended requirement.
DOCMENTS: TANK RELEASE CERTIFICATE, GODSDEKLARATION, LASTRAPPORT
Procedure 13, line 24
Documents: tank release certificate, goods declaration, load report.
Reason Source wording is misspelled (“DOCMENTS”) — confirm the document list.
PRODUCT CORRENSPONDS TO ORDER
Procedure 13, line 25
Product corresponds to the order.
Reason Source wording is misspelled (“CORRENSPONDS”) — confirm the intended requirement.
DENISTY DIFFERENCE NOT MORE THEN+/- 0.003KG
Procedure 13, line 28
Density difference not more than ±0.003 kg/l.
Reason The source reads “DENISTY DIFFERENCE NOT MORE THEN+/- 0.003KG” — the unit is given as KG. Confirm it is kg/l.
Position, PPE and equipment, manual handling, risk assessment and safety awareness
Why The preparation decides how safely everything that follows can be done.
Expected Correct position, correct PPE, equipment present, hazards identified.
If it fails Correct the position or fetch the missing equipment before continuing.
Source: procedure 13, line 10 — “CORRECT PPE FOR TASK, REQUIRED EQUIPMENT”
Test equipment present, functioning and in sufficient quantity
Source: procedure 13, line 14 — “EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING”
Self-service shut off and the sign put up
Why Nobody may draw product from a tank that is receiving or settling.
Expected Self-service disabled and the sign in place before the delivery arrives.
Source: procedure 13, line 16 — “SELF SERVICE SHUTOFF AND SIGN PUT UP”
Select the fuel farm and receiving tanks
Density in the tank before the delivery
Limit min 0.775 · max 0.84 kg/l
Source: procedure 13, line 18 — “DENISTY”
Conductivity in the tank before the delivery
Limit min 50 · max 600 pS/m
Source: procedure 13, line 19 — “CONDUCTIVITY”
Quantity in the tanks
Source: procedure 13, line 20 — “QUANTITY IN TANKS”
Ullage available
Why The delivery cannot exceed the ullage.
Source: procedure 13, line 21 — “ULLAGE”
Delivery seals unbroken
Why A broken seal means the load cannot be assumed to be what the paperwork says.
If it fails Do not unload. Inform the supervisor.
Source: procedure 13, line 23 — “DELIVERY SEALS NOT BROKEN”
Documents present: tank release certificate, goods declaration and load report
Source: procedure 13, line 24 — “DOCMENTS: TANK RELEASE CERTIFICATE, GODSDEKLARATION, LASTRAPPORT”
Product corresponds to the order
Source: procedure 13, line 25 — “PRODUCT CORRENSPONDS TO ORDER”
Quantity to be received
Why It must fit in the available ullage.
Source: procedure 13, line 26 — “QUANTITY TO BE RECEIVED”
Bridger sample tested: appearance, colour, water, sediment and conductivity
If it fails Do not unload. Inform the supplier and the supervisor.
Source: procedure 13, line 27 — “FUEL SAMPLING, APP,COLOR,WATER, SEDIMENT AND CONDUCTIVITY”
Density difference against the declaration
Expected No more than ±0.003 kg/l.
If it fails Outside the limit — do not unload and inform the supervisor.
Limit max 0.003 kg/l
Source: procedure 13, line 28 — “DENISTY DIFFERENCE NOT MORE THEN+/- 0.003KG”

Source: procedure 13, line 31 — “QUANTITY RECEIVED IN TANKS”
Tank signs changed to settling
Why The sign is what stops product being drawn while it settles.

Settling time before the post-delivery tests
Why Water and particulates need time to reach the sump.
Expected At least the minimum settling time for the site.
Limit min 60 minutes
Source: procedure 13, line 34 — “SETTLING TIME”
Post-settling sample: appearance, colour, water, sediment and conductivity
If it fails Do not release the tank. Repeat after further settling and inform the supervisor.
