COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), or JET Fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas turbines engines. It is colourless to straw-colored in appearances. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to a standardized international specification. Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes, molecular weights or carbon numbers is restricted by requirements for the products.
This course is designed to provide, participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of aviation fuel turbine kerosene (ATK) fuel handling and sampling. It covers the jet engine and jet fuel including its specifications; the various types of hydrocarbon; the jet fuel specification properties that include bulk properties and trace properties; and the jet fuel non-specification properties covering cleanliness, water content, micro-organisms, color and lubricity.
