<strong>TO</strong> <strong>00</strong>-<strong>25</strong>-<strong>172</strong><br />
inch in width. NSN 8415-<strong>00</strong>-177-4974 satisfies<br />
this requirement and shall be used unless otherwise<br />
specified in command directives.<br />
(4) The CSS in concurrent operations shall also be<br />
responsible for controlling and monitoring all<br />
concurrent operations to include cargo/baggage<br />
loading/unloading, maintenance, fuel or oxygen<br />
servicing, and fleet servicing. CSS maintains continuous<br />
intercom contact with fuel servicing team<br />
members during the entire servicing operation<br />
(excluding 2F0X1 fuels specialists). C-9 aeromedical<br />
evacuation aircraft are authorized to conduct<br />
concurrent servicing operations away from<br />
home station using an alternate method of communication<br />
when aircraft intercom capability does<br />
not exist. Alternate communication procedures<br />
such as hand signals and/or voice communication<br />
will be agreed upon by the refueling team prior to<br />
start of the refueling operation. C-21 aircraft are<br />
authorized to conduct concurrent servicing using<br />
a deplaned aircrew member as the CSS. This individual<br />
can use either hand signals, voice communication,<br />
or intercom with the refueling team.<br />
In addition, the C-21 can use a ground power unit<br />
to supply aircraft electrical power. The refueling<br />
supervisor will ensure that the minimum number<br />
of personnel remain on the aircraft during refueling.<br />
(5) Personnel who supervise portions of the operation;<br />
e.g., aerial port supervisor, maintenance team<br />
supervisor, or fleet service supervisor, shall coordinate<br />
each phase of their operation with the CSS<br />
and report immediately any condition that might<br />
jeopardize safety prior to beginning or during<br />
concurrent servicing operations.<br />
(6) If concurrent operations are in progress, all personnel<br />
or their team chief will report to the CSS<br />
prior to entering the concurrent servicing area.<br />
(7) The CSS will have full and final authority over<br />
all phases of concurrent operations and over all<br />
participating personnel, except the deployment<br />
and control of fire fighting and rescue units.<br />
(8) During concurrent fuel servicing operations, the<br />
CSS may simultaneously perform CSS and fuel<br />
servicing supervisor duties.<br />
(9) During concurrent oxygen servicing, the CSS will<br />
be an individual other than the person doing the<br />
actual oxygen servicing.<br />
(11) Ensure all personnel involved in concurrent operations<br />
are briefed on the total requirements of<br />
servicing prior to commencing operations. This<br />
briefing will cover a general overview of the operation<br />
and emergency procedures.<br />
(12) Assure fuel servicing equipment is properly<br />
bonded. Bond conductive maintenance or work<br />
stands to the aircraft when using the stand to access<br />
the aircraft fuel servicing receptacles or support<br />
the fuel hose during servicing operations.<br />
(13) Ensure aircraft are not concurrently refueled if the<br />
fuel jettison (dump) system was used on the previous<br />
flight unless it can be positively verified<br />
that the jettison valve(s) closed after the fuel jettison<br />
operation. Verification can be accomplished<br />
by observing cockpit indications (provided they<br />
show the true status of the jettison valves) or by<br />
physically observing the fuel to stop exiting the<br />
jettison outlet(s) upon termination of the jettison<br />
operation. If neither of these verification actions<br />
can be done, then the aircraft must not be concurrently<br />
refueled until it undergoes at least one normal<br />
refueling operation to show that the jettison<br />
valves are closed.<br />
(14) Ensure the fire department is notified at least 15<br />
minutes before starting concurrent servicing operations.<br />
(15) Supervise the movement of equipment into and<br />
out of concurrent servicing area.<br />
(16) Assure connections of any ground power units<br />
are completed prior to starting the servicing operations.<br />
Equipment shall remain connected until<br />
the fuel servicing is terminated.<br />
(17) Assure all concurrent operations are performed in<br />
compliance with this technical order.<br />
(18) Assure the proper number of fire extinguishers<br />
are available (Table 3-1).<br />
(19) <strong>Air</strong>crew members may remain on board the aircraft<br />
during concurrent servicing operations as directed<br />
by the MAJCOM. When remaining on<br />
board, all safety procedures outlined in this technical<br />
order will be followed. Entering or exiting<br />
the aircraft shall be limited to performing essential<br />
duties associated with the concurrent servicing<br />
operation.<br />
(10) CSS will ensure communications to the fire department<br />
through Job Control or the Command<br />
Post are immediately available and operational.<br />
