5.4 RESPONSIBILITIES OF OTHER PERSONNEL
PARTICIPATING IN CONCURRENT SERVICING OP-
ERATIONS.
a. Normal concurrent servicing operations.
(1) Personnel who supervise portions of the concurrent
servicing operations, e.g., aerial port, maintenance
team, passenger service, or fleet service
shall coordinate each phase of their operation with
the CSS and report any condition that might jeopardize
safety prior to and during concurrent servicing
operations.
(2) Personnel can use the portable electronic equipment
specified in Chapter 3 of this technical order.
b. Additional personnel requirements for concurrent servicing
operations with passengers/patients on board. A
loadmaster or AMC Passenger representative will be
positioned in the passenger compartment and be in intercom
contact with the CSS. They will:
(1) Notify passengers of the concurrent servicing operations
and provide them the option to deplane if
practical.
(2) Ensure that personnel/passengers do not smoke
during fuel servicing operations.
(3) Ensure emergency exits and aisles are unobstructed
and not blocked. Escape slides will be
armed.
(4) Assist in the evacuation of passengers in an emergency.
(5) Make sure a ramp or staircase is in the proper
position and unobstructed to enable exit in an
emergency.
(6) Aircraft personnel entry/exit doors within the
FSSZ should be closed during fuel servicing operations.
c. Medical evacuation aircraft will:
(1) Have two qualified medical crewmembers in attendance
in the aircraft to assist in the evacuation
of patients and passengers in the event of an
emergency.
(2) Ensure the exits are open as much as practical as
determined by the Senior Medical Representative
in consideration of weather and patient conditions.
Under no condition will the exit be locked
during servicing operations.
5.5 RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUPERVISORY CON-
TRACTOR REPRESENTATIVE (SCR).
a. The SCR will:
(1) Be under the direct control of the Air Force CSS
and will respond to all CSS directions.
SCR will determine if aircraft fuel jettison system
was used since departing last location. If the system
was used, concurrent servicing operations will
not be accomplished until it is determined that the
jettison valves are closed.
(2) Be stationed at the refueling control panel and
SPR location to connect and disconnect the fuel
nozzle to the aircraft SPR for required fuel servicing.
For DC-9 contractor aircraft, the fuel
nozzle will be connected and disconnected by
USAF personnel, such as transient alert. The fuel
servicing equipment operator should not perform
this task.
NOTE
For commercially contracted cargo-only aircraft
where the fuel control panel/fuel system control
mechanism is located on the outside of the aircraft
(L-100, L-188, DC-9, and B-727), use of the aircraft
intercom system by fuel servicing ground
crews is not required. If any personnel (flight or
ground crew members) are to remain on board the
aircraft during fuel servicing operations, then voice
contact must be established and maintained between
the personnel remaining on board the aircraft
and the fuel control panel at all times during
the fuel servicing operation.
(3) Monitor fuel vent outlets on the same side of the
aircraft as the SPR location and maintain constant
intercom contact with CSS during concurrent servicing
operations.
(4) Advise the CSS when a potential safety hazard is
observed or exists. The commercial airline representative
operating the fuel control panel shall
terminate fuel servicing immediately when directed
to do so by the CSS. Fuel servicing will
not be resumed until any existing safety hazard
has been corrected and the CSS directs resumption
of the servicing operation.
(5) The SCR or his representative shall ensure the
fuel servicing nozzle is securely locked to the aircraft
by attempting to remove the nozzle with the
5-4
