Chapter 7: Inspection, Evaluation,and Testing_ <br /> 7.7.15 FAA Advisory Circular 150/5230-4A-Aircraft Fuel Storage, Handling, and <br /> Dispensing on Airports <br /> FAA Advisory Circular 150/5230-4A—Aircraft Fuel Storage, Handling, and Dispensing on Airports 172 <br /> identifies standards and procedures for storage, handling, and dispensing of aviation fuel on airports.The <br /> Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends the standards and procedures referenced in the Advisory <br /> Circular(AC)for all airports.The FAA accepts these standards as one means of complying with 14 CFR Part 139, <br /> Certification of Airports, as it pertains to fire safety in the safe storage, handling, and dispensing of fuels used in <br /> aircraft on airports but not in terms of quality control.Although airports that are not certificated under 14 CFR <br /> part 139 are not required to develop fuel safety standards, the FAA recommends that they do so. <br /> This AC is not intended to replace airport procedures developed to meet requirements imposed because <br /> of the use of special equipment, nor to replace local regulations. For specific provisions,the other standards that <br /> are referenced in this AC are: <br /> • For fuel storage, handling and dispensing,the National Fire Prevention Association's "Standard <br /> for Aircraft Fuel Servicing." <br /> • For refueling and quality control procedures,the National Air Transportation Association's <br /> "Refueling and Quality Control Procedures for Airport Service and Support Operations."This <br /> provides information about fuel safety,types of aviation fuels,fueling vehicle safety,facility <br /> inspection procedures,fueling procedures, and methods for handling fuel spills. API also <br /> publishes documents pertaining to refueling and facility specifications. <br /> The AC also requires fuel safety training for airports certificated under 14 CFR part 139. (See <br /> http://www.faa.gov/airports/resources/advisory circulars/index.cfm.) <br /> 7.7.16 FAA Advisory Circular 150/5210-20 — Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports <br /> FAA Advisory Circular 150/5210-20—Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports 173 provides"guidance to <br /> airport operators in developing training programs for safe ground vehicle operations and pedestrian control on <br /> the airside of an airport."Specifically,this advisory circular provides recommended operating procedures for <br /> ground vehicles. It also provides two appendices containing samples of the training curriculum and training <br /> manual.The sample training manual in Appendix B provides airport operators with a template for developing <br /> and implementing policies or procedures for controlling ground vehicles and equipment on an airport,for <br /> example requirements for fuel trucks transporting oil.Airport operators would use the format but adapt the <br /> requirements to specific conditions found on the airport. <br /> (See http://www.faa.gov/airports/resources/advisory circulars/index.cfm.) <br /> 172 FAA Advisory Circular 150/5230-4A,"Aircraft Fuel Storage,Handling,and Dispensing on Airports,"Federal Aviation <br /> Administration,U.S.Department of Transportation,June 18,2004. <br /> 173 FAA Advisory Circular 150/5210-20,"Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports,"Federal Aviation Administration,U.S.Department <br /> of Transportation,March 31,2008. <br /> SPCC GUIDANCE FOR REGIONAL INSPECTORS 7-79 <br /> December 16, 2013 <br />
