 (b) the door or doors on the non-refuelling side remain open; and
 (c) a person nominated by the pilot in command is stationed at the open door or doors to assist with evacuation in the event of an emergency; and
 (d) the area outside the aircraft that would be used in event of evacuation is kept clear of obstacles; and
 (e) if the presence of fuel vapour is detected inside the aircraft, or any other hazard arises during refuelling, refuelling is stopped immediately.
5 PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
5.1 All persons engaged in hot refuelling must be trained in, and familiar with, the procedures to be followed during hot refuelling or any emergency that may occur in relation to the refuelling.
5.2 Suitable and properly maintained fire fighting equipment must be readily available for use if an emergency occurs during the refuelling.
6 FUEL LOADING
6.1 The quantity of fuel to be loaded must be decided before hot refuelling is commenced.
6.2 A closed or open refuelling system may be used for hot refuelling.
6.3 If an open system of refuelling is used, there must be a means of quickly cutting off the fuel supply at the point of entry into the fuel tank of the aeroplane.
6.4 Before the aeroplane's fuel filler cap is removed, the refuelling equipment and the aeroplane must be earthed and connected so as to ensure they are of the same electrical potential.
7 RADIO TRANSMISSIONS
7.1 While hot refuelling is taking place, radio transmissions from the aeroplane must be restricted to the greatest extent practicable.
7.2 While hot refuelling is taking place, an HF transmitter or radar equipment on the aeroplane must not be operated.
8 INSPECTION AND TESTING OF FUEL SYSTEM
8.1 The operator of an aeroplane engaged in aerial work operations must ensure to the greatest extent practicable that, on completion of each hot refuelling of the aeroplane, the pilot in command inspects and tests the aeroplane's fuel system for the presence of water.
8.2 The pilot in command of an aeroplane, engaged in aerial work operations or private operations, that has been hot refuelled must, on completion of each hot refuelling of the aeroplane, inspect and test the aeroplane's fuel system for the presence of water.
8.3 Paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 do not apply to an aeroplane engaged in aerial work operations:
 (a) if the aeroplane has, for a continuous period of not more than 5 hours time in service, been engaged in operations during which hot refuelling has taken place; and
 (b) if:
 (i) the
