Today I was at the hangar to do some cleaning and re-arranging in
preparation for a meeting with the Airport Director and the Airport Fire
Marshall. I move some tables and
rearranged some of the equipment since the wings are on the airplane and the
wing rack is empty. South Valley
Regional offers 100LL and Jet A fuel only.
No auto gas. In order to fuel the
airplane I had to have the proper equipment and demonstrate the proper way to
fuel the airplane. Before they arrived I
took some photos.
To be certified I had to
show how to fuel the airplane. I pulled
it out to the taxi line. I retrieved the
fire extinguisher from the hangar and put it next to the RV-12. I put the fuel cans next to the airplane and
attached the ground wire, one end to the fuel can and one end to the gas
can. After asking a few questions the
Airport Fire Marshall signed my application and told me I have been certified
to fuel my own airplane. I need to go to
the badging office at Salt Lake International and have them put a fueling icon
on my airport security badge.
