C4  Manage fuel

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to effectively manage fuel for an aircraft operation.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria

            1.        determine the required fuel reserves;
            2.        determine the quantity of fuel required taking into account operational requirements and relevant abnormal or emergency conditions and contingencies;
            3.         determine the total fuel required for the flight.
     2.               C4.2 – Manage fuel system
            1.        verify fuel quantity on-board aircraft prior to flight using 2 independent methods;
            2.        ensure the fuel caps are secured;
            3.         perform fuel quality check prior to flight;
            4.        ensure fuel drain cocks are closed;
            5.        monitor fuel usage during the flight;
            6.          accurately maintain fuel log;
            7.        calculate and state endurance at any point during flight;
            8.        perform fuel tank changes correctly;
            9.          maintain fuel load within aircraft limits;
           10.          operate the fuel cross-feed system correctly (if fitted);
           11.         operate fuel pumps and engine controls correctly;
           12.          except for RPL and PPL, configure the aircraft correctly to achieve best range performance and correctly calculate the revised range of operation;
           13.      configure the aircraft correctly to achieve best endurance performance and correctly calculate the revised operational endurance.
     3.               C4.3 – Refuel aircraft
            1.        identify the correct type of fuel to be used;
            2.        ensure aircraft is earthed prior to refuelling and defueling operations;
            3.         correctly load and unload fuel;
            4.        ensure required fuel quantity is loaded;
            5.        ensure fuel caps are closed and secured after fuelling operations;
            6.          perform fuel quality checks.

 2.                     Range of variables

 3.                     Underpinning knowledge of the following:
        1.        minimum fuel requirements for day VFR operations;
        2.        fuel sources and fuel grades, including methods for identifying difference grades;
        3.         methods of verifying the quantity of fuel on board an aircraft;
        4.        fire extinguishers that can be used for fuel-related fires, including requirements and how to use them in the event of a fire;
        5.        location of refuelling places;
        6.          limitations on using drum stock fuel;
