  3. Outline

  4. Static Electricity • During cold weather, static electricity can create serious problems, not only in flight, but also on the ground, particularly during refueling and rearming operations. • Static electricity can be generated from brushing snow and ice from an aircraft to dragging steel grounding cables over the snow.

  5. Static Electricity Precautions • During refueling and rearming operations, it is extremely important to ground the aircraft properly. • In addition, personnel must always remember to touch a properly grounded surface to discharge static charges that have built up in their bodies. • As a further precaution during refueling operations, fuel nozzles should be fully inserted into the aircraft filler neck at all times.

  6. Flammability

  7. Flash Point Autoignition JP-4 >-10oF 468oF JP-8 100oF (38oC) >450oF JP-4/8 Flash point - The lowest temperature at which a petroleum product will burn Autoignition - Minimum temperature required to ignite a flammable mixture by heat energy alone (no other ignition source present)
