Is it allowed to re-fuel an aircraft with any wide-cut fuel whilst passengers are boarding?

  • A

    Yes, as long as communication is established between the flight crew and the re-fueller.

  • B

    Yes, as long as the minimum qualified personnel are onboard to initiate an evacuation.

  • C

    No, this is only allowed for AVGAS, not other wide-cut fuels.

  • D

    No, this is never allowed.

  • Refueling JET (A) is allowed with precautions
  • Refueling JET (B) or AVGAS is NOT allowed while boarding (widecut fuel), unless the operator has specific procedures in place.

Refuelling or de-fuelling with Avgas (aviation gasoline) or wide-cut type fuel (Jet-B or equivalent) or with a mixture of these types should not take place when passengers are embarking, on board or disembarking, and only if the operator has established appropriate procedures, taking into account the high risk of using wide-cut fuel types.
