TO: 	Airport Operators, FAA Airport Certification Safety Inspectors	
TOPIC: 	Fuel Safety Training - Update	

BACKGROUND

14 CFR part 139.321(e) (1) requires training of fueling personnel in fire safety
in accordance with the requirements of (b) (6).   To accomplish this, "[a]t least one supervisor with each fueling agent shall have completed an aviation fuel training course in fire safety which is acceptable to the Administrator.  Part 139.321 (e) (2) requires that “[a]ll other employees who fuel aircraft, accept fuel shipments, or otherwise handle fuel shall receive at least on-the-job training in fire safety from the supervisor trained in accordance with paragraph (e) (1) of this section.”
Recurrent Training in Fire Safety is now required also.

Any person or company submitting an Aviation Fuel Training Course in Fire Safety for review for national recognition must follow the guidelines available at the website.  Guidance for developing a fire safety training course is located on the FAA website, http://www.faa.gov/arp/safety.  Then go to “Guidelines for Submitting a Fueling Safety Program.”  

The Fire Safety Training courses are listed in the following order:
Comprehensive courses that include subject areas beyond those listed in Part 139.321 (e.g., fueling procedures for various types of aircraft; use of current or advanced fuel technologies and equipment, other airside products such as oils, de-icing and hydraulic fluids, various lubricants).

Courses that address the seven items listed in Part 139.321 (b).

All courses listed in the Certalert are "acceptable to the Administrator." However, Fueling Supervisors who plan to attend a recurrent Fire Safety Training course should select one of the asterisked companies.  These companies have comprehensive programs that offer preparation not only in the technical areas but also in techniques for delivering the safety-first message to the employees whom they supervise.   In addition, these courses are more challenging for supervisors whose fueling facilities are located on airports serving a large variety of air carrier aircraft.

This Certalert replaces Certalert 04-07, issued August 5, 2004. _________________________________________________________________
