The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to revise the compliance criteria in FAA Order 5280.5 to include specific training standards for fueling personnel, as an interim step before a certification program is in place. The training must cover fuel quality assurance, fire prevention, vehicle inspection and operation, proper fueling techniques, and airport operating rules.
