  1. CAP April 2012 Safety

  2. Overview • Mis-fueling • Flight procedure change • Scalding • Monthly mishaps

  3. Aircraft Misfueling • Misfueling is the introduction of an improper fuel into the aircraft’s tanks • Consequences of misfueling • Fuel system drainage • Engine replacement • Engine failure • Jet fuel has no special anti-detonation properties

  4. Fueling checklist • When ordering, specifically state fueled grade and quantity you want • Get a read-back of your fuel order • Fuel order forms and fuel pumps are often color-coded • Aviation gas is red • Jet is black

  5. Fueling • Be present at each fueling • Speak up if something doesn’t seem right • Match the fuel truck or fuel island color coding with the color of your plane’s fuel decal • Check to see that the fuel nozzle is compatible with the aircraft • Verify the fuel grade on the invoice

  6. Preflight • Visually check the tanks for quantity and fuel color • Check water contaminants • Note smell and color • Jet fuel is clear or yellowish and has a distinctive older • 100LL has a light blue tint

  7. ATC Class Bravo Excursion Notification • INFORMATIONAL BULLETIN - Requirement Notice Number: NOTC3571 • ATC Class Bravo Excursion Notification Requirement • Controllers are now required to: • Vector aircraft to remain in Class B airspace after entry. • Inform the aircraft when leaving and reentering the Class B airspace if it becomes necessary to extend the flight path outside Class B airspace for spacing”. • Example: • “aircraft ID, fly heading 120, descend and maintain 4000 feet, leaving Class B airspace” • “aircraft ID, fly heading 180, entering Class B airspace”.

  8. Class B Rule Reminder • To operate within a Class B airspace theoperator must receive an ATC clearance from the ATC facility having jurisdiction for that area before operating an aircraft in that area. • That airliner flying overhead must operate at or above the designated floors of the Class B airspace area while within the lateral limits of that area. • When arriving and departing Fleming Field, stay below the class B airspace and you should not have a conflict with large turbine powered aircraft.

  9. Scalding • A scald injury occurs when contact with hot liquid or steam damages one or more layers of skin. This kind of burn is very painful and can be life threatening for small children who are more vulnerable. • 40% of all scald injuries are suffered by children aged 0-4. • If you do burn your skin: Run cold water over it for 3 minutes or more. Don’t use butter or ice and call 911 if the burn looks really bad.

  10. Scalding Prevention Tips • Teach children that hot things can burn • Set your water heater at 120 degrees for a medium setting. • Supervise children in the bathtub • Run your hand under the water before allowing your child to get in the tub. • Never hold a child while cooking • Wear long oven mitts when handling hot food • Place liquids in the center of the table or the back of the counter • Turn all pot handles inward • Make a child exclusion zone around the stove to keep little ones from hot stove burners. • Open micro waved food slowly and away from the face • Never heat a baby bottle in a microwave • Allow microwavedfood to cool before eating • Pore microwavedsoups into a traditional full after eating
