Navarra - Fueling Flashcards
Why did the plane need to be fueled on July 4th?
Mr. Campbell called me at about 6:00 pm saying that the plane needed to be fueled and ready to go as soon as possible.
Did you agree to this?
I asked Mr. Campbell if he would be willing to reschedule his flight. It was 6:00 pm on the Fourth after all. I wouldn’t want my employees to have to work late on a holiday. But Mr. Campbell demanded he fly that night.
Did you go to fuel the plane?
As I said before Danny was already at the airfield so I gave him instructions on what to do. I also decided to go to the airfield to ensure that everything was going okay.
Did you look over Danny’s work?
I arrived just as Mr. Campbell was heading out on the flight. I had a quick chat with him to ensure that everything had gone okay. While I did not get to check the plane, Danny did show me the sump sample he took.
Was there anything wrong with the fuel sample?
No, there were the usual traces of water, but nothing unsafe. The gas was the correct color as well, Blue as the ocean.
Did you ever improperly maintain the plane?
No, I never improperly maintained that plane. Safety is very important to me. Doing something halfway in my line of work gets people killed. Now I can’t say whether or not Danny did everything right on July 4th.
Is there any possibility that something happened mid-flight to cause engine failure?
It is possible that water from the rainy weather seeped into the fuel tank, contaminating the fuel.
