ACR LTT DEP STATION WITHOUT BEING FUELED.

Narrative

WE ARRIVED AT RDG AT XA05. ON OUR IN-RANGE CALL WE TOLD RDG OPS THAT WE NEEDED FUEL. AFTER SHUTDOWN; I NOTICED THAT WE WOULD NEED 600 LBS OF FUEL. I LOOKED AT MY WATCH AND REALIZED THAT I WOULD HAVE TIME TO GRAB A SANDWICH. THE FO AND I THEN WENT INTO THE RESTAURANT. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE RESTAURANT AND INTO OPS; I FOUND THAT THEY HAD NOT PULLED UP A RELEASE OR THE WX PACKET. I THEN PULLED UP WHAT WAS NEEDED AND PROCEEDED TO THE ACFT. DUE TO THE EXTRA TIME TAKEN TO PULL UP THE WX PACKET; I WAS RUNNING BEHIND WHEN I GOT TO THE ACFT. I IMMEDIATELY SET ABOUT GETTING MY ATIS; CLRNC AND FILLING OUT THE WT AND BAL FORM. BEFORE I WAS THROUGH THE PAX WERE BEING LOADED. DUE TO THAT; I WAS JUST GETTING MY CLRNC WHILE THE FO WAS GETTING SET IN HIS SEAT. WHEN GOING THROUGH THE PRESTART CHKLIST ON FUEL; I LOOKED TO SEE THAT THE CAPS WERE SECURE. WE TAXIED OUT; TOOK OFF AND CLBED TO CRUISE. WHILE SETTING CRUISE PWR I NOTICED THAT WE HAD NOT BEEN REFUELED. I TOLD THE FO THEN WE DISCUSSED IT AND DECIDED THAT IF WE DID NOT HAVE AT LEAST 700 LBS REMAINING WHEN WE CROSSED JST; WE WOULD LAND AT JST. WHEN WE APCHED JST WE HAD 600 LBS SO I DECIDED TO LAND AND REFUEL. AT NO TIME WERE THE PAX IN ANY INCREASED DANGER. ONCE WE REALIZED WE WERE SHORT FUEL; THE PAX SAFETY WAS THE #1 CONCERN; NOT OUR PRIDE OR EMPLOYMENT. THERE WERE NUMEROUS CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THIS INCIDENT. THE DAY PRIOR; THIS CREW HAD A 13 HR AND 50 MINS DUTY DAY; FLEW 7 HRS AND 52 MINS; 7 LEGS. THEN HAD AN 8 HR AND 20 MIN OVER NIGHT REST PERIOD WITH A 25 MIN VAN RIDE EACH WAY TO AND FROM THE HOTEL. THE RPTING TIME ON JUL/XX/95 WAS XA55 AM. THE STATION NOT HAVING THE PAPERWORK READY CREATED AN ATMOSPHERE THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE BEHIND THE PWR CURVE AND NEEDED TO HURRY TO CATCH UP. THAT IS WHEN I SHOULD HAVE SLOWED DOWN TO INSURE THINGS WERE CORRECT AND ACCOMPLISHED. THE OLD SAYING THAT 'YOU NEVER HAVE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT; BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO CORRECT IT' IS TRUE. WE HAD TO TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE REFUEL STOP IN JST. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 311681: AT DEP TIME I BOARDED THE PAX AND THE CAPT AND I STARTED DOING THE BEFORE STARTING ENG CHKS. ITEM #8 ON THE CHKLIST INVOLVES VERIFICATION OF FUEL CAPS SECURE AND FUEL QUANTITY CONCURS WITH RELEASE. I VERIFIED CAP R (DUTY AS INSTRUCTED BY STANDARDIZATION MANUAL) CAPT VERIFIED CAP SECURE L FUEL CONCURRED WITH RELEASE. I ASSUMED THAT HE WAS CORRECT I NEVER LOOKED AT THE RELEASE. CORRECTIVE ACTION: NO REDUCED REST; A VERIFICATION OF FUEL QUANTITY BY BOTH CAPT AND FO IN THE STANDARDIZATION.
