This SAE Aerospace Specification (AS) is applicable to all aircraft. This AS defines the minimum design and operating requirements for the aircraft refueling interface. These requirements establish the minimum criteria for the aircraft design that provides practical standardized refueling system requirements, provides minimum standardized criteria for the operation and performance of any aircraft refueling equipment, and establishes an integrated minimum performance for aircraft refueling operations. This standardization provides the minimum design criteria to assure full compatibility between the aircraft refueling system connection point(s), aircraft operating characteristics, and the design and operation of ground based aircraft refueling equipment in all steady state and dynamic refueling and defueling conditions. The criteria that shall be used to test the operation and performance of the aircraft refueling system and equipment are also specified.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report presents a glossary of terms commonly used in the ground delivery of fuel to an aircraft and pertinent terms relating to the aircraft being refueled.

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides background information, technical data, and related technical references for minimization of electrostatic hazards in aircraft fuel systems.

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.
