All fuels to be used in aircraft require very special handling. Negligence or carelessness in the storage and handling of fuel or an error in fueling can endanger an aircraft and the lives of all on board. It is therefore essential that the correct grade and quantity of fuel is supplied and that it is in a condition fit for use in aircraft. This publication provides guidance on the duties of the installation manager and they may be summarised as ensuring that: proper quality control and fueling procedures are adhered to and sampling tests of fuel and inspections of installations are correctly completed and records kept. It is for managers of installations to decide the form the records should take, but it is essential that they are kept in an orderly fashion and in such a way as to maintain their legibility. The appendix to this publication consists of some examples of record forms commonly used which managers may find suitable for their own use, with modifications as necessary to suit individual aerodrome installations.
