2. Refueling should normally be done with the engines shut down. Observing a 30 minutes cooldown period before refueling is recommended.3. All personal not involved in the fuelling operation, including helicopter passengers, shouldremain clear of the fuelling location by at least 30 meters.4. Extinguishers located in enclosed compartments will be readily accessible, and their location willbe clearly marked in letters at least five (5) cm high.5. Extinguishers will be located upwind from the helicopter being fuelled.6. Smoking or any other source of ignition is prohibited within 30 meters of any area designated asa helicopter fuelling location.7. All personnel involved in fuelling operations will be given formal training by their respectivecompanies concerning the use of the extinguishing equipment and the type of fires that may beencountered.8. An emergency safe-exit route from the fuelling location should be available to the fuelling crewat all times.OGC IBP | Revision Date: Sept 2009 DRAFT53
ANNEX D FUEL MANAGEMENTD.1 GENERALD.1.1D.1.2D.1.3D.1.4D.1.5D.1.6D.1.7The correct grade of dry, uncontaminated fuel is essential to safe flight operations. Stringenthandling procedures and contamination checks must be followed at each stage of movement of thefuel from the refinery to the helicopter in order to reduce the risk of fuel contamination due to water,dirt, or sediment.All fuel and supporting fire suppression systems, including those provided by airports or fixed baseoperators, should have annual safety, technical and quality assurance reviews by appropriatecompetent and qualified authority or organization and reviews every six-months by the HelicopterProvider. Records of such reviews and any remedial actions taken should be maintained.The Helicopter Provider should provide formal procedures detailing all necessary equipment checksand fuel system quality control.Only authorized and duly trained personnel will be allowed to enter the fuel storage area and tooperate refueling or fuel transfer equipment. This authorized/trained personnel may also conduct thequality control checks described in this section, but subject to supervision by the Pilot-in-Command.All other personnel should remain clear of the fuelling area when fuelling operations are in progress,unless the authorized personnel requests assistance.The Pilot-in-Command is responsible for the quality of fuel loaded into the aircraft.The most common and also most dangerous contamination of fuel is water. Water can block enginefuel filters and hence cause sudden engine failure. Presence of water can also lead to developmentof bacteria and fungi in the fuel. These can also result in fuel filter blockage. Hence the watercontamination checks described below should be followed rigorously (i.e. in all stages of fuelhandling and supply as well as the regular checks on the fuel inside the tanks of the aircraft).Most fuel providers now include anti bacterial and fungi inhibitors in their products. Where this is notthe case (enquire with fuel provider) the use of such products could be considered in hot, humidclimates.D.2 SITE SELECTIOND.2.1 The fuelling area is to be checked in accordance with the following requirements on initial set up:1. Helicopter fuel storage areas must be separate from other types of fuel stocks.2. Terrain must be kept clear of any flammable materials such as brush, undergrowth or debrisand not susceptible to flooding. The site should be as free of dust and debris as possible.3. Helicopter fuel storage and refueling areas must be as far as possible from all other personnel,equipment and living quarters. The minimum distance from the fuel storage tank or drum stacksto living quarters is 100 meters.4. Refueling should be conducted at least 15 meters from non-essential personnel and any sourceof ignition.5. The tank designated for helicopter fuelling should be at least 15 meters from the center of thehelicopter unless using drums.6. Where drums are being used, move empty fuel drums far enough from the helicopter to ensurethey are not dislodged by down wash from the helicopter rotors.D.3 STORAGED.3.1Fuel storage and equipment should comply with the following:1. Only stainless steel epoxy coated steel, aluminum or glass-lined aluminum, or fuel gradebladder type tanks will be accepted for helicopter fuel storage.2. The tanks will allow for expansion (2% of full capacity) and will be fitted with vents to allow fortemperature changes without tank distortion or entry of moisture/contamination.OGC IBP | Revision Date: Sept 2009 DRAFT54
