NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE GENERAL AVIATION MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION: CONVENE A MEETING OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE AVIATION AND PETROLEUM INDUSTRIES TO EXAMINE THE PRACTICALITY OF STANDARDIZING AND MODIFYING NOZZLES AND TANK OPENINGS THROUGHOUT THE AVIATION FUEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FROM THE REFINERY TO THE AIRPLANE SO THAT JET FUEL CANNOT BE INADVERTENTLY DELIVERED TO TANKS INTENDED FOR THE CONTAINMENT OF AVIATION GASOLINE.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the General Aviation Manufacturers Association to organize a meeting of aviation and petroleum industry representatives to study the feasibility of standardizing nozzles and tank openings throughout the aviation fuel distribution system, so that jet fuel cannot be accidentally put into tanks meant for aviation gasoline.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
