stitute of Petroleum (IP) STD 1529, Type C,<br />
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 />
ferrules.<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 />
