Fuel Tank Safety – Phase I&II (FTS)


According to AMC 145.A.30(e), 145.B.10(3), M.A.706(f) and AMC1 M.B.102(c), this course is designed to Personnel of the Part 145 approved maintenance organization required to plan, perform, supervise, inspect and certify the maintenance of aircraft and fuel system componentes, as well as to Personnel of the CAMO involved in the management and review of the continuing airworthiness of aircraft.


Module 1 - Theoretical background behind the risk of fuel tank safety

a) Theoretical background behind the risk of fuel tank safety

        • The explosions of mixtures of fuel and air;
        • The effects of temperature and pressure; 
        • Energy needed for ignition, the "fire triangle".

b) Concepts to prevent explosions:

    1. ignition source prevention and; 
    2. flammability reduction. 

Module 2 – Major accidents related to Fuel Tank Safety

Accident investigations and their conclusions.

Module 3  - Concepts of Fuel Tank System

SFAR 88 of the FAA.

            • Harmonization between FAA and EASA.
            • JAA Interim Policy INT POL 25/12.  
            • Ignition prevention program initiatives and goals
            • Identification of unsafe conditions and to correct them.
            • Improvement of fuel tank maintenance.
            • Airworthiness Limitations Items (ALI) and Configuration Deviation Control list (CDCCL). 
            • How to find relevant information. 
            • Use and interpret this information in the various instructions for continuing airworthiness (aircraft maintenance manuals, component maintenance manual, etc.).

Module 4 – Flammability reduction systems when installed:

            • reason for their presence;
            • effects;
            • the hazards, and;
            • Safety precautions  of a Flammability Reduction System (FRS) .

Module 5 – Maintenance Actions

Fuel Tank Safety during maintenance: 

            • Fuel tank entry and exit procedures; 
            • Clean working environment;
            • Configuration control;
            • Wire separation;
            • Bonding of components; etc.


Multiple choice Final Examination with 5 questions.

Duration: 15 minutes.

Pass mark: 75%

 

Continuous assessment: during the training some learning control questions will be applied, seeking that students better understand course material.
