LOADING
Practical aviation fuel training — instruction, guided practice, practical assessment, competence decisions and certificates, with every module traceable to its source procedure.
Release a tank back to operational use only when every criterion is met, and document the release.
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.
VOLUMEN QUANTITY AND VOLUME CORRECTED
Procedure 14, line 19
Record the quantity and the corrected volume.
Reason Source wording is damaged (“VOLUMEN QUANTITY AND VOLUME CORRECTED”) — confirm what must be recorded.
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.

Select the tank being released
A tank is released back to operational use only when every criterion is met. If anything is outside its limit, the tank stays out of service.
New batch number generated and recorded
Why The batch identity is what makes the product traceable after the blend.
Source: procedure 14, line 14 — “GENERATE NEW BATCH NO/ID”
Theoretical density after the blend
Source: procedure 14, line 15 — “THEORETICAL DENSITY”
Actual density measured after settling
Limit min 0.775 · max 0.84 kg/l
Source: procedure 14, line 16 — “ACTUAL DENSITY”
Jet fuel density limits apply to the released product.
Source: procedure 14, line 17 — “DENSITY LIMITATION”
Difference between actual and theoretical density
Expected Within ±0.003 kg/l.
If it fails Outside the tolerance — the tank must not be released. Inform the supervisor.
Limit max 0.003 kg/l

Quantity and corrected volume
Source: procedure 14, line 19 — “VOLUMEN QUANTITY AND VOLUME CORRECTED”
Density off specification identified and acted on
Why Off-specification product must never reach an aircraft.
Expected Off-spec product identified, the tank kept out of service and the supervisor informed.
Source: procedure 14, line 21 — “DENSITY OF SPEC”
Tank release certificate completed
Expected Every field completed, with the test results that support the release.
Source: procedure 14, line 23 — “COMPLETION OF TANK RELEASE CERTIFICATE”
Release authorised by the person holding that authority
Why The release is a formal authorisation, not a formality.

What density difference between theoretical and actual is acceptable before release?
The actual density is 0.006 kg/l away from theoretical. What do you do?
