Description
FBOs, general aviation airports, and other interested parties have until the end of business on November 9 to comment on a proposed change to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) standards for aircraft fueling that calls for the installation of automatic shutdown systems on fuel trucks and fuel farms. The NFPA standards, typically adopted as requirements by regulatory agencies, would apply to current in-service trucks and fuel farms as well as for new equipment. Under the proposal, in-service equipment would need to be retrofitted by June 2, 2021. The National Air Transportation Association, which represents FBOs, has already requested that the retrofit feature be removed.
