aircraft servicing personnel under their supervision are<br />
knowledgeable of requirements in applicable directives and<br />
technical orders, proficient in accomplishing servicing operations<br />
and exercise safe practices during ground servicing<br />
operations.<br />
1.2 DEFINITIONS.<br />
The following definitions apply in regard to the text of this<br />
technical order.<br />
• Shall and Will - Indicate mandatory requirements.<br />
Will is also used to express a declaration of purpose.<br />

1.2.1 <strong>Air</strong>craft Fuel Servicing. The movement of fuel to<br />
or from an external source to or from an aircraft through a<br />
Single Point Refuel (SPR) receptacle, including the time<br />
during which fueling connections and disconnections are<br />
made (bond wires and nozzles). This also includes checks<br />
made to verify fuel quantity and time to clean up or neutralize<br />
any spilled fuel.<br />
1.2.2 <strong>Air</strong>craft Servicing Supervisor. The person responsible<br />
for the aircraft fuel servicing operations. The individual<br />

Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) and any other<br />
MAJCOM or local maintenance/training directives.<br />
1.2.3 Bonding. Electrically connecting two or more components<br />
of a system to equalize voltage potential.<br />
1.2.4 Cathodic Protection. A means of protecting metals<br />
from corrosion by making the metal the cathode of an electrolytic<br />
cell. Pipelines, tanks, and steel piers (wharves) are<br />
often protected in this manner.<br />
receive familiarization training on safety requirements and<br />
potential hazards of concurrent servicing operations and be<br />

imaginary circle around the aircraft that includes the fuel<br />
servicing safety zones and extends at least 10 feet outboard<br />
of the aircraft wingtips, tail, and nose.<br />
1.2.8 Concurrent Servicing Operations (CSO) Supporting<br />
Combat Sortie Generation (CSG). The simultaneous<br />
fueling, and munitions/ammunition loading/unloading,<br />
aircraft reconfiguration, aircraft -6 <strong>TO</strong> inspections, and other<br />
aircraft servicing such as oil, nitrogen, and hydraulic fluid.<br />
Oxygen servicing will not be accomplished during fuel servicing.<br />
1.2.8.1 CSOs Requiring a Concurrent Servicing Supervisor<br />
(CSS). The key function requiring the CSS is refueling/defueling.<br />
When no refuel/defuel operations are taking<br />
place concurrent with any other maintenance/munitions<br />
tasks, a CSS is not required.<br />
1.2.8.1.1 Simultaneous fuel servicing with aircraft -6 and<br />
-6WC inspections.<br />
1.2.8.1.2 Simultaneous fuel servicing with munitions/ammunition<br />
loading/unloading.<br />
1.2.8.1.3 Simultaneous fuel servicing with aircraft reconfiguration.<br />
1.2.8.1.4 Simultaneous fuel servicing and other aircraft<br />
servicing such as oil, nitrogen, and hydraulic fluid.<br />
1.2.8.1.5 Simultaneous fuel servicing with loading/unloading<br />
of munitions/ammunition, aircraft reconfiguration, air-<br />
1.2.5 Chief Servicing Supervisor (CSS) (Chapter 5).<br />
The person responsible for on-site supervision of all aspects<br />
of concurrent fuel servicing operations. The individual shall<br />
