A visit to yola aero plane fuel filling station

My IT program is gradually coming to an end because my school is currently writing it final session exams, so by this time next week I will be posting some of my departmental friends that are currently in 500L which is their final year, they will be writing their final exams and sign out by this time next week Friday. We have atleast just one week from now to round up our IT program so I and some of my friends that are doing our IT program in the same location decided to visit an aero plane fuel filling station that is located around yola airport. We had a nice time and I saw and learnt so many things there that I have never come across. The one reason I love this platform so much is because I get to write ✍️ my daily happenings, which will serve as a memory for me someday.

5. Safety equipment (fire suppression, spill containment)

Types of Fuel:

1. Aviation Gasoline (Avgas)
2. Jet-A/Jet-A1 (for commercial airlines)
3. Diesel (for ground support equipment)

Fueling Methods:

1. Overwing fueling (small aircraft)
2. Underwing fueling (large commercial aircraft)
3. Single-point fueling (efficient, high-speed fueling)

Safety Considerations:

1. Fire safety and emergency response plans
2. Spill prevention and containment
3. Electrical grounding and bonding
4. Regular maintenance and inspections

Regulations and Standards:

1. International Air Transport Association (IATA)
2. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
3. National regulatory bodies (e.g., FAA in the US)
4. Industry standards (e.g., API, ASTM)

Technology Advancements:

1. Automated fuel management systems
2. Electronic payment and invoicing
3. Mobile fueling units
4. Alternative fuels (e.g., sustainable aviation fuel)

Key Players:

1. Oil companies (e.g., Shell, Chevron)
2. Airport authorities
3. Fueling service providers (e.g., Signature Flight Support)
4. Aircraft manufacturers (e.g., Boeing, Airbus)
