When Refuelling You aircraft what distance must the tank filling points be from another stationary aircraft?
During refuelling, the aircraft and ground fuelling equipment shall be so located that no fuel tank filling points or vent outlets lie: within 5 m (17 ft) of any sealed building. within 6 m (20 ft) of other stationary aircraft.
Can you refuel a plane with passengers on board?
Refuelling with passenger on board may or may not be an option depending on the grade of fuel involved: Refuelling with Kerosene (JET A, JET A1 JP8, TS1, RT, TH or equivalent, in accordance with the approved Aircraft Flight Manual), is allowed when passengers are boarding, on board, or disembarking.

How long does it take to refuel a passenger jet?
The average fuel stop takes 45 – 60 minutes. To speed up fuel stops, the operator or pilots may call ahead so a fuel truck is waiting for the aircraft on arrival. For smaller jets, a fuel stop can take as little as 30 minutes.
Why are landing planes always earthed before being Refuelled?
The refuel truck has an earthing line that is connected to the a/c before refuelling commences. Usually it will be connected to a specific point on the landing gear. It has to be earthed because the fuel being pumped is flowing at such a fast rate that static can build up.
What is final reserve fuel?
Final reserve fuel is the minimum fuel required to fly for 30 minutes at 1,500 feet above the alternate aerodrome or, if an alternate is not required, at the destination aerodrome at holding speed in ISA conditions.
How much reserve fuel does a plane have?
