This AS defines maximum free opening dimensions for airframe refueling ports on civil aircraft that require the exclusive use of aviation gasolines, and minimum free opening dimensions for airframe refueling ports on civil aircraft that operate with turbine fuels as a primary fuel type. In addition, this document defines the minimum refueling nozzle tip dimensions for turbine fuels ground service equipment, and the maximum refueling nozzle tip diameter dimension for aviation gasolines ground service equipment.
This Aerospace Standard (AS) defines maximum free opening dimensions for airframe refueling ports on civil aircraft that require the exclusive use of aviation gasolines, and minimum free opening dimensions for airframe refueling ports on civil aircraft that operate with turbine fuels as a primary fuel type. In addition, this document defines the minimum refueling nozzle tip dimensions for turbine fuels ground service equipment, and the maximum refueling nozzle tip diameter dimension for aviation gasolines ground service equipment.
The "Scope" section may be a very brief statement describing the coverage of the specification for a simple device, or it may require a long description of limiting parameters for a more complex device or system having a complicated interface definition.
This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers a brief discussion of the icing problem in aircraft fuel systems and different means that have been used to test for icing. Fuel preparation procedures and icing tests for aircraft fuel systems and components are proposed herein as a recommended practice to be used in the aircraft industry for fixed wing aircraft and their operational environment only. In the context of this ARP, the engine is not considered to be a component of the aircraft fuel system, for the engine fuel system is subjected to icing tests by the engine manufacturer for commercial and particular military applications.
This report lists military and industry specifications and standards which are commonly used in aerospace gas turbine fuel systems. It is intended as a supplement to specifications MIL-F-3863, MIL-F-17874 and MIL-F-8615. Revisions and amendments which are current for these specifications and standards are not listed.
