Our suite of Safety Sense leaflets cover a range of subjects from winter flying to balloon airmanship. Following the success of the Skyway Code, in 2021 we began a revised series that reflects the latest guidance and best practice for General Aviation pilots.
The latest leaflets cover pilot health, mountain flying, carbon monoxide safety and flying with passengers.

Safety Sense Leaflet 28: Fuel Handling and Storage
Ensuring fuel is appropriate with respect to grade, quantity and quality is essential for safe aircraft operations.
This safety sense leaflet is intended to give practical guidance for General Aviation pilots on the dispensing, handling and storage of fuel for light aircraft. It also addresses fuel sampling during preflight checks.
Professional fuel installation managers may also find this guidance relevant, although facility specification and construction are not covered in detail.
