FROM THE MANAGER

As we all enjoy the busy summer flying months, I would like to remind everyone about our Fueling Procedures and Regulations. 

Our goal is to adhere to the highest standards for storing and delivering fuel. In addition to our daily fuel checks, which include draining filters, checking for contaminants, samplingand fuel testing, we also have some very straightforward guidelines for delivering safe fuel EVERY TIME! These rues not only apply to full-service fueling, but also self-service. 

Please take a moment to review just a few of our regulations to help us maintain the highest standards:

The following is prohibited while an aircraft is being fueled or defueled:

  • Smoking
  • Operation of a radio transmitter or electrical system

Aircraft fueling and defueling is prohibited in the following scenarios: 

 

    • While aircraft is parked in a hangar
  • When raining
  • During an electrical storm

As a final reminder, hot refueling (fueling of aircraft while the engines are running), shall be permitted only under special circumstances and then only when authorized by Airport Management. 

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to stop by the FBO and ask.  As always, full-service fueling is available during normal business hours, and tenants receive a discount! 

Safe flying, 

Adam Arceneaux
Airport Manager
