| Aircraft Refueller Overview | | | Aircraft Refueller Overview Responsibilities for the Aircraft Refueller include pressure and non-pressure refueling using a variety of sources, such as mobile tankers, hydrant carts, cabinets and drums. In some organizations, Aircraft Refuellers are called upon to operate tank farms, and as such, a block has been included in this occupational standard to reflect these additional duties.Aircraft Refuellers may also be called upon to perform special refueling procedures, de-fuel aircraft and respond to fuel spills and other environmental concerns. They are thoroughly familiar with safe work practices, and rules and regulations that apply to their work. Certification Requirements Aircraft Refuellers may specialize in Pressure and/or Non-Pressure refueling. Applicants seeking certification in Pressure refueling are required to demonstrate experience with at least three (3) types of aircraft. Applicants seeking certification in Non-Pressure refueling must have experience with at least two (2) different types of aircraft. Applicants must also complete mandatory tasks for one of the following sources:- Refueling from Tankers
- Refueling from Hydrants
- Refueling from Cabinets
- Refueling from Drums
In addition, all applicants must acquire a minimum of twelve (12) months experience in the occupation, based on full-time employment. The tasks in the logbook were made as generic as possible to accommodate the largest amount of work environments and equipment/tools but do not necessarily cover all tasks performed by individuals. Evaluator Instructions An Evaluator is an aviation practitioner with experience in the same occupation as the applicant seeking registration; who can attest that the applicant has accomplished the required tasks competently. Evaluators are appointed by the Council based on recommendations by the applicant’s employer. To nominate an individual for evaluator status, the employer must forward a formal letter of nomination to the CAMC Registrar, along with a completed Evaluator Data Form.
