THE MAVERICK: what's fun, interesting, and EDUCATIONAL - hot from the HAFS hangar!

In helicopter operations, fuel contamination poses a significant risk, making it crucial to conduct meticulous pre-flight inspections that include fuel straining. During this inspection, we scrutinize the fuel for visible debris like dirt, rust, or foreign objects that could clog vital components.

We also check for the presence of water, as even a small amount can cause engine malfunctions and corrosion. Unusual color, odor, or cloudiness of the fuel is assessed as potential signs of contamination that could compromise engine performance. By diligently observing these factors, we mitigate the hazards associated with fuel contamination and ensure the safety of helicopter operations.

• No water
• No debris
• Confirm the colour (AVGAS=light blue)
• Confirm the smell
