Aviation Jet Fuel Training

Introduction

This five-day course is designed to provide a technical overview and to introduce delegates to the many facets of the Aviation Jet Fuel business – a business which operates at a truly global level. It will not only examine the workings of the modern jet engine, but will build the picture as to why, unlike some fuels, jet fuel specification, production and handling is critical to the continuing success of the aviation industry. It explores components of the business from several key perspectives, including oil company fuel suppliers and civilian and military users.

Objectives

    Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

    • The jet engine, its underlying principles and fuel requirements
    • The critical characteristics of jet fuel, including additives
    • Measures adopted in the supply, handling and use of aviation fuel
    • Real-life problems associated with the contamination of fuel and solutions to remedy them
    • The practical side of ground operations during a visit to a busy airfield
    • The future of jet fuel

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
