Grade 2/3 aviation servicing hose assemblies<br />

with two-piece, onetime use, internally expanded<br />

forged brass or bar stock body couplings<br />

and brass or 3<strong>00</strong> series stainless steel<br />

serrated ferrules.<br />

(f) Fuels Operational Readiness Capability<br />

Equipment (FORCE).<br />

(2) With passengers on board:<br />

(a) Hydrant servicing vehicles, hydrant hose<br />

trucks, and fuel servicing trucks equipped<br />

with deadman controls and at least 50 feet of<br />

noncollapsible fuel servicing hose or MIL-<br />

DTL-26521K fuel servicing hose.<br />

(b) MH-2 series hydrant hose carts modified with<br />

semi-hard (noncollapsible) fuel servicing<br />

hose, or MIL-DTL-26521K fuel servicing<br />

hose straight throat nozzle, and equipped with<br />

a magnetic KISS system or deadman controls.<br />

NOTE<br />

The modified MH-2 series hose cart will only be<br />

used when a hydrant servicing vehicle or hydrant<br />

hose truck is not available. During peacetime operations,<br />

fuel servicing trucks equipped with collapsible<br />

fuel servicing hose will not be used for<br />

concurrent servicing while passengers are on<br />

board.<br />

(c) Any Meyerinck, Cla-Val, OPW, Emco-<br />

Wheaton or Nova Group pantograph.<br />

(d) R-11 fuel servicing trucks when equipped<br />

with API/IP STD 1529, Type C, Grade 2/3<br />

aviation servicing hose assemblies with twopiece,<br />

onetime use, internally expanded<br />

forged brass or bar stock body couplings and<br />

brass or 3<strong>00</strong> series stainless steel serrated<br />

(e) Fuels Operational Readiness Capability<br />

Equipment (FORCE).<br />

b. Powered AGE used inside the FSSZ will meet the requirements<br />

outlined in Paragraph 4.1.<br />

c. Operating external power units will be parked at least<br />

50 feet from pressurized fuel carrying servicing components<br />

and at least <strong>25</strong> feet from aircraft fuel vents<br />

during fuel servicing operations. They will be placed<br />

outside the fuel servicing safety zone and when possible<br />

positioned upwind from the servicing operation.<br />

d. Vehicles authorized inside the fuel servicing safety<br />

zone during concurrent servicing operations shall<br />

maintain at least a <strong>25</strong>-foot separation distance from the<br />

aircraft fuel vent outlets (except Boeing 747/757/767<br />

aircraft which are acceptable for having authorized vehicles<br />

pass underneath but may not stop or be parked<br />

directly beneath the fuel vent outlets) and a <strong>25</strong>-foot<br />

separation distance from pressurized fuel servicing system<br />

components during fuel servicing operations. All<br />

other vehicles shall remain outside of the FSSZ.<br />

e. The C-9 aircraft APU will normally be used during all<br />

single point fuel servicing operations to supply electrical<br />

and pneumatic power for the ECSs and life support<br />

medical equipment. If the C-9 APU becomes inoperative<br />

and the aircrew has determined that electrical<br />

and/or pneumatic power are medically essential, suitable<br />

ground power units will be connected and operated.<br />

These back-up power sources shall be immediately<br />

available during all medical evacuation<br />

operations.<br />

In the event a heating or air conditioning unit stops<br />

running while connected to the aircraft, disconnect<br />

the duct immediately.<br />

f. When ground heaters or air conditioners are required<br />

for passenger comfort, they may be used in the FSSZ<br />

subject to the following:<br />

(1) Electrical motors to be used within:<br />

(a) 10 feet of the aircraft fuel vent outlets, open<br />

port refueling receptacles, fuel spills, or fuel<br />

trucks being filled (bottom loading or from<br />

aircraft defueling) must meet the NEC requirements<br />

for Class I, Division 1 (Zone 1)<br />

locations.<br />

(b) The fuel servicing safety zone but not within<br />

10 feet of the aircraft fuel vent outlets, open<br />

port refueling receptacles, fuel spills, or fuel<br />

trucks being filled (bottom loading or from<br />

aircraft defueling) must meet the NEC requirements<br />

for Class I, Division 2 (Zone 2)<br />

locations.<br />
