Servicing Crew Member: Person performing servicing duties according to checklists.
Support Equipment (SE): Equipment enabling a weapon system, command system, or subsystem to function.
Switch Loading: Introducing low-volatility fuel into a tank with higher-volatility fuel.
Transferring Fuel: Moving fuel within the aircraft system or in bulk.
Reporting Hazards: Report any potential hazards (glowing fuel, sparks, electrical shocks, defective grounding, fluid leaks).
Recoverable Products Handling: Handling of recovered products from aircraft servicing should comply with federal, state, and local pollution laws.
Fuel/Oil Spills: Reports to base fire and civil engineering.

Reporting and Handling of Hazards

Hazard Reporting: Report potential hazards to local supervision

Recoverable Products

Compliance: Recoverable products must follow federal, state, and local pollution laws.
