craft -6 TO inspections, and other aircraft servicing such as
oil, nitrogen, and hydraulic fluid.
NOTE
Electrical “power-on” portions of -6 inspections
are not authorized during concurrent munitions
loading/unloading and fuel servicing operations.
Power-on portions of -6 inspections are accomplished
prior to or upon completion of the concurrent
munitions loading/unloading and fuel servicing
operation.
6.2.2 CSOs Not Requiring a Concurrent Servicing Supervisor
(CSS).
6.2.2.1 Any or all simultaneous munitions/ammunition
loading/unloading with aircraft -6 and -6WC TO inspections,
aircraft reconfiguration, and other aircraft servicing such as
oil, nitrogen, and hydraulic fluid.
NOTE
When a CSS is not required the weapons load crew
chief is responsible for and controls all actions
concerning the aircraft during loading and unloading
operations. See AFI 21-101, Chapter 4 for detailed
responsibilities.
6.3 CONCURRENT SERVICING SUPERVISOR
(CSS).
The on-site supervisor responsible for all aspects of fuel servicing,
munitions/ammunition loading/unloading, aircraft reconfiguration,
aircraft -6 TO inspections, and other aircraft
servicing performed during CSOs. The key function requiring
the CSS is refueling/defueling. When no refuel/defuel
operations are taking place concurrent with any other maintenance/munitions
tasks, a CSS is not required. The individual
shall receive training on safety requirements and potential
hazards of concurrent servicing operations and be
certified as required by AFI 21-101, MAJCOM, and local
maintenance/training directives. The CSS:
a. Is a 5 skill-level with a 2AXXX or 2WXXX maintenance
AFSC and at least 1 year airframe experience.
b. Is a safety supervisor who will only supervise one CSO
at a time.
c. Maintains full authority over all safety aspects of CSOs
and participating personnel, except the deployment and
control of fire fighting and rescue units.
d. Ensures all CSOs are performed in accordance with
applicable MDS technical orders and directives.
e. Coordinates with personnel participating in CSOs. Personnel
report to the CSS prior to entering the concurrent
servicing area. Personnel coordinate each phase of
their operation with the CSS and report any condition(s)
that may jeopardize safety prior to or during
CSOs.
f. Supervises movement of equipment into and out of the
concurrent servicing area.
g. Ensures all personnel involved are briefed on the total
requirements prior to commencing operations. The
briefing provides an overview of the CSO, safety requirements
and emergency procedures.
h. Ensures the fire department is notified at least 15 minutes
before starting CSOs, ensures communications to
the fire department through MOC are immediately
available and ensures proper numbers of fire extinguishers
are available to support the CSO.
i. Ensures connections of any ground power units are
completed prior to starting CSOs. Equipment shall remain
connected until the fuel servicing is terminated.
j. Wears a reflective vest for ease of identification. The
letters will be a least six inches in height and four
inches wide and made of reflective material at least
one inch in width. NSN 8415-00-177-4974 satisfies
this requirement and shall be used unless otherwise
specified in command directives.
6.3.1 CSO Accomplishment. CSOs are accomplished in
approved explosives and fuel cited areas, (i.e., open ramps
or shelters). CSOs can be done on a single aircraft parked
nose-in or nose-out on centerline of shelters/FTR. Two aircraft
may be parked in a second or third generation HAS/
PAS (double stuffing), but only one of the aircraft can undergo
a CSO at a time. Refer to Table 3-1 for fire protection
requirements.
6.4 HOT REFUELING (FUELING WITH ENGINES
RUNNING).
This type of refueling requires the approval of the MAJ-
COM of the activity involved. Hot refueling provides minimum
aircraft turnaround times and reduces fueling personnel
and equipment support requirements. However, it presents
hazards which are not normally encountered in other fueling
operations. Consequently, personnel who are responsible for
supervising and conducting hot refueling must have:
a. A thorough knowledge of all equipment and systems
they operate.
b. A thorough knowledge of and observe all safety procedures.
c. A thorough knowledge of and follow the sequential
steps for each operation.
