CHAPTER 5<br />
CONCURRENT SERVICING OPERATIONS<br />
5.1 CONCURRENT SERVICING OF AIRCRAFT.<br />
NOTE<br />
On KC-135, MAF and Commercial aircraft, concurrent<br />
servicing is not required unless refueling/<br />
defueling with JP-4, loading/downloading munitions<br />
or explosives, or servicing LOX while<br />
performing maintenance. Simultaneous servicing<br />
of fuel while loading passengers and cargo, performing<br />
maintenance, aircrew members performing<br />
inspections, or operating aircraft systems is<br />
considered to be a normal servicing operation. Restrictions<br />
listed in Paragraph 5.6 and Paragraph<br />
5.7 still apply.<br />
Concurrent servicing is defined as the simultaneous servicing<br />
of fuel or oxygen with either passengers on board or the<br />
performance of minor maintenance, fleet servicing, or baggage<br />
or cargo loading/unloading. Refer to Chapter 6 for<br />
CSOs supporting the A-10, F-15, F-16 and F-22 aircraft.<br />
Concurrent servicing of aircraft with JP-4 or Jet B aircraft<br />
will require completion and approval of a System Safety<br />
Engineering Analysis (SSEA). As long as the provisions of<br />
this chapter are followed, a SSEA is no longer required for<br />
concurrent servicing of aircraft with high flashpoint fuels.<br />
Servicing operations pertaining to these aircraft when accomplished<br />
on a USAF installation are under the direct control<br />
of the USAF and will be accomplished in accordance<br />
with the provisions of this technical order. Fuel servicing<br />
and concurrent servicing of these aircraft will be done using<br />
approved checklists. Cargo containing explosives, oxygen or<br />
flammable gases or liquids shall not be loaded or unloaded<br />
during concurrent servicing operations. A Chief Servicing<br />
Supervisor (CSS) shall be provided by the USAF for all<br />
concurrent fuel servicing of contract airlift missions at military<br />
installations.<br />
5.2 PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS FOR FUEL<br />
SERVICING.<br />
Simultaneous fuel and oxygen servicing on an aircraft<br />
is NOT authorized.<br />
Defueling during concurrent operations shall be<br />
limited to the single point method (closed fuel<br />
system). C-130 and C-141 troop doors and emergency<br />
hatches on the right SPR, side of the aircraft<br />
must be closed during concurrent servicing<br />
operations to isolate the cargo compartment from<br />
the fuel servicing safety zone.<br />
The <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> fuel servicing team will consist of the following:<br />
a. Chief Servicing Supervisor (CSS).<br />
b. SPR Monitor (SPRM) for each SPR in use (contractor<br />
aircrew member when servicing contract commercial<br />
carriers). 2F0X1 personnel trained and certified using<br />
MDS applicable procedures, or equivalent current<br />
training program, may perform simultaneous duty as<br />
both SPRM and fuels specialist.<br />
c. A refueling panel monitor (when the refueling panel<br />
and the SPR are adjacent to each other, one individual<br />
may monitor both).<br />
d. Fuel Specialists (2F0X1).<br />
e. Passenger compartment monitor, i.e., aircrew member<br />
(when passengers on board).<br />
5.3 RESPONSIBILITIES OF CSS.<br />
a. Normal concurrent servicing operations.<br />
(1) A Chief Servicing Supervisor (CSS) shall be present<br />
during concurrent operations. The CSS will<br />
primarily be stationed at the nose of the aircraft<br />
and will monitor the wing fuel vent outlets on the<br />
opposite side of the aircraft from the SPR location.<br />
A transient alert individual can also function<br />
as a CSS. The CSS can be either a USAF employee<br />
or a contractor support employee.<br />
(2) When servicing is performed by contract, contractor<br />
personnel functioning as the CSS must<br />
have experience comparable to that required for<br />
an <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> CSS. <strong>Base</strong> or unit commanders shall<br />
assure that the contractor’s CSS has the required<br />
experience and capability.<br />
(3) The CSS will wear a reflective vest with the letters<br />
CSS on the front and back. The letters will<br />
be at least six inches in height and four inches<br />
wide and made of reflective material at least one<br />
