Fueling

When fueling our aircraft, the priorities are safety (including reserve fuel and weight and balance), keeping the schedule on time, and fuel price, in that order. Of course, the PIC has the final authority and responsibility for the fuel load. All pilots are expected to plan their refueling for gaps in the schedule, when possible. This is especially important to keep the schedule on time when flying back-to-back legs, including rounds, GC1’s, repos, and lake tours. When possible, buy fuel at PGA and DVT rather than GCN or SEZ. Long delays are common at GCN and prices are high at GCN and SEZ.

Fueling for GC1’s, Lake Tours, and Aramark

If you have your manifest and can take the fuel:

• 207- Top
• 208- 1200 lb

If you do not have a manifest yet:

• 207- 300 lb
• 208- 1000 lb

Fueling for Repos

Avoid putting on so much fuel that the airplane will be overweight if the schedule changes.

End of Day Fuel

The purpose of end of day fuel is to ensure that there there is enough fuel to fly a local tour and/or repo to another base. Do standard end of day fuel unless you are assigned a flight the next day and have your manifest.

DVT

Do not fuel at the end of the day. Fuel during preflight according to the allowable fuel on your manifest.

SEZ, GCN, PGA

• 207- Fuel to 300 pounds
• 208- Fuel to 800 pounds

Do NOT leave your airplane unfueled at the end of the day.
