Q

Is there any time when fuel can be loaded on an aircraft with passengers on board? If so, when?

A

Yes.

An aircraft may be refueled through underwing fueling as long as the aircraft is an aviation grade turbine fuel that contains anti-static additive.

Anyone on board, entering or leaving the aircraft whilst the fuel is being loaded must be told that:
Fuel is to be loaded,
Seat-belts must not be fastened whilst the fuel is loaded.
They must not smoke or used electrical equipment (other than medical equipment which wont affect the safety of any passenger on board) or do anything else that may cause fuel vapors to ignite during the loading.

All persons on board, entering or leaving the aircraft must obey the above instructions.

A cabin crew or flight crew member must be appointed to perform the following tasks while the fuel is loaded:
Ensure the safety of the passengers.
Maintain discipline inside the aircraft.
Supervise any necessary evacuation of the aircraft.

While the fuel is loaded:
“Fasten seat belt” signs must be turned off
“No smoking signs” must be turned on
Emergency lights must be armed.

Whilst fuel is loaded 1 cabin crew member or flight crew member must be on board for every 72 passengers on board or for every passenger zone in the aircraft in which there are passengers - whichever is more.

While fuel is loaded, there must be at least 1 cabin crew or flight crew member on duty by at least 1 exit door of each of the aircraft’s passenger zones in which there are passengers.

All cabin crew members or flight crew members who are on duty must:
Be ready for immediate evacuation
Supervise the passengers during the loading
Ensure the aisles and exits are unobstructed.

Areas outside the aircraft which would be used in the case of an evacuation must be clear.

if any engines are running, a flight crew member must be on the flight deck.

Operator’s operations manual must set out:
The responsibilities of the members of the operating crew who are on duty in the aircraft while fuel is loaded, and procedures for complying with the procedures in this paragraph.

The aircraft’s cabin door is open; and
The equipment used for loading or unloading passengers (if any) is in position at the door; and
the requirements of paragraph 4.2.2 are satisfied.

Q

During fueling operations what precautions must be made?

A

All engines including any APU’s must be shut down except where CASA is satisified that the operation of such an engine or APU will not present a hazard and the operation is in the operations manual.

If a GPU is attached, it cannot be detached during the fueling and the GPU must be securely locked to the aircraft.

A person shall not, and the PIC and the operator shall take reasonable steps to ensure that a person does not during fueling operations:
Operate or perform maintenance work on the aircraft’s radar equipment except where the fuel is kerosene, operation or maintenance may be carried out provided the radar transmitter is deactivated.
Except where the fuel is kerosene, carry out maintenance on any electrical, electronic or radio systems within the aircraft or operate such equipment other than aircraft’s interior lighting or electrical apparatus necessary for the fueling process.

Before a fuel tank cap is removed, the aircraft and all fueling equipment must be bonded and if that bonding is lost, fuel transfer must be stopped immediately and not resume until bonding is restored.

All footwork must be of a non-sparking type and any persons involved int he refueling shall not carry any matches, cigarette lighters or any other objects which could represent an ignition hazard.

Operator or PIC shall ensure sufficient airspace exists to allow for fuel expansion.

At the conclusion of the refueling, the operator or PIC must ensure that all fuel and oil caps are refitted securely.

118
Q

Open to interpretation

If employed by Rex, if you take your family on a 2 hour private flight, do these hours count towards duty and flight time limitations?

A

Under CAO 48.0.1.3:

The flight and duty time limitations mentioned in section 48.1 of the CAO apply when the person is engaged in aerial work, charter or RPT services. Calculation of flight and duty time limitations made under section 48.1 must take into account any flight and duty time performed by the person in the course of private operations.

My interpretation is that if you are employed in an aerial work, charter or RPT operation, any private flying you do outside of work must be counted as flight and duty time in regards to 48.1.

If you are not employed in one of the above categories. i.e. private pilot, then this regulation doesn’t apply as stated in CAO 48.0.1.2
