poppet valve in the open position prior to pressurizing
the system. If the SCR or designated
contractor representative is able to remove the
nozzle from the aircraft SPR with the poppet
valve open, the fuel servicing operation will not
be started. The fuel servicing unit/hydrant hose
cart operator will immediately remove the nozzle
from service. If the poppet valve on a SPR nozzle
is closed, after the initial check and prior to pressurization,
then another nozzle to aircraft lock
check is required.
(6) The SCR shall provide two intercom headsets and
cords, one 100-foot and one 50-foot, for Air Force
use. The 100-foot cord shall be used by the CSS.
All aircraft external intercom plug-ins must be
operational and usable.
NOTE
When fuel servicing with government provided
fuel on a USAF (or other) installation, the USAF
(or other service) shall furnish additional personnel
for monitoring each fuel nozzle connection
where the number of personnel required exceeds
those specified in the contract.
(7) Prior to beginning concurrent servicing operations,
the SCR shall establish a liaison with the
CSS to:
(a) Determine specific servicing requirements, to
include if unique bonding sequence is required,
for the aircraft.
(b) Discuss any unfamiliar system characteristics
or deficiencies.
(c) Provide guidance on the duties and physical
positioning of the commercial carrier’s technical
personnel during the concurrent servicing
operation.
NOTE
A qualified SCR shall be present for supervision
and control of the commercial contractor personnel
involved in the concurrent servicing operation,
to include subcontractor personnel, such as caterers,
cleaning crews, and the flight crew. The SCR
shall provide the safety expertise as related to
commercial carrier’s aircraft and shall notify the
CSS of any potential safety hazards.
(8) Determine and jointly approve the timing of
maintenance, cargo baggage loading/unloading,
fleet servicing or other activities (food service,
cleaning, etc.) to be accomplished during the concurrent
servicing operation.
b. Additional requirements for SCR with passengers on
board.
(1) The SCR will provide one operable 50-foot headset
for each SPR/vent monitor and a 100-foot or
longer cord and headset for the CSS (minimum
of three headsets required for Air Force use). The
SCR must also ensure the fuel control panel operator
has a headset and remains on intercom during
the fuel servicing operation.
(2) The SCR must also ensure a member of the aircrew
or a contractor representative is in intercom
contact in the cockpit and cabin areas when passengers
are on board during fuel servicing. This
individual will be in constant intercom contact
with the CSS.
(3) The SCR will ensure the aircraft external intercom
plug-in jacks are in good working order. If
intercom contact cannot be maintained between
the CSS, fuel control panel operator(s), vent/SPR
monitor(s), and the individual in the cockpit/cabin
area with the passengers, fuel servicing with passengers
on board will not be done.

KC-10 aircraft.
b. Passengers will not be allowed in the cargo compartment
while winching of rolling stock or pallets is being

c. Use of the winch in the cargo compartment of C-5 and
C-141 aircraft is prohibited during defueling operations.
d. Cargo containing explosives, oxygen, or flammable
gases or liquids shall not be loaded or unloaded during
concurrent servicing operations. Under combat conditions
or simulated combat exercises, loading or unloading
