ABSTRACT This specification prescribes minimum requirements for the design and integration of Fuel/Energy Storage and Delivery system installations for aeroplanes and is applicable to aeroplanes as defined in the F44 terminology standard. The applicant for a design approval must seek the individual guidance to their respective civil aviation authority (CAA) body concerning the use of this specification as part of a certification plan. The requirements provided in this specification cover fuel system, fuel tanks, fuel pumps, fuel flow, pressure fueling systems, and fuel jettisoning system. SCOPE 1.1 This specification covers minimum requirements for the design and integration of Fuel Storage and Delivery system installations for aeroplanes. 1.2 This specification is applicable to aeroplanes as defined in the F44 terminology standard. 1.3 The applicant for a design approval must seek the individual guidance to their respective CAA body concerning the use of this standard as part of a certification plan. For information on which CAA regulatory bodies have accepted this standard (in whole or in part) as a means of compliance to their Aeroplane Airworthiness regulations (Hereinafter referred to as “the Rules”), refer to ASTM F44 webpage (www.ASTM.org/COMITTEE/F44.htm), which includes CAA website links. Annex A1 maps the Means of Compliance described in this specification to EASA CS-23, amendment 5, or later, and FAA 14 CFR Part 23, amendment 64, or later. 1.4 Units—The values stated are SI units followed by imperial units in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
Abstract
Overview
ASTM F3063/F3063M-21 is the internationally recognized standard specification for aircraft fuel storage and delivery systems. Developed by ASTM Committee F44, this standard outlines the minimum requirements for the design, integration, installation, and testing of fuel/energy storage and delivery system installations for aeroplanes. It applies specifically to aeroplanes as defined in the F44 terminology standard and serves as a key reference for meeting various national civil aviation authority (CAA) certification requirements.
Proper implementation of this standard helps to ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of fuel systems in general aviation, commuter, and certain commercial aircraft. All applicants for aircraft design approval should consult relevant CAA authorities for guidance on using ASTM F3063/F3063M-21 as part of their certification plans.
Key Topics
ASTM F3063/F3063M-21 covers an extensive range of critical aspects in the design and integration of aircraft fuel systems, including:
- Fuel Systems: Construction, arrangement, and flow requirements, ensuring proper fuel supply during all operating conditions.
- Fuel Tanks: Design criteria, installation, support, compartmentalization, expansion space, sump requirements, and provisions for inspection and repair.
- Pumps and Flow: Standards for main, emergency, and auxiliary pumps, along with minimum flow rates for gravity and pump-driven systems.
- Fuel System Components: Requirements for vents, drains, filters, strainers, and filler connections to ensure safe, contamination-free fuel delivery.
- Pressure Fueling and Defueling: Safety provisions to prevent overfilling and component damage during fueling and defueling operations.
- Fuel Jettisoning Systems: Criteria for safe and efficient fuel jettisoning in cases where weight reduction is necessary for landing.
- Testing and Performance Verification: Robust procedures to confirm system integrity under operating and environmental stresses.
Applications
This standard provides tangible benefits and practical application across the aviation industry, such as:
- Aircraft Certification: Offers a comprehensive framework for demonstrating compliance with CAA, FAA, and EASA airworthiness regulations regarding fuel systems.
- Aircraft Design and Manufacturing: Guides engineers and manufacturers in developing fuel storage and delivery systems that meet rigorous safety and reliability standards.
- Retrofit and Upgrades: Supports the integration of updated fuel system technologies in legacy aircraft to improve safety and operational efficiency.
- Regulatory Compliance: Enables clear mapping to regulatory requirements, facilitating the approval process with authorities like EASA CS-23 and FAA 14 CFR Part 23.
- Safety Enhancement: Minimizes fire hazards, ensures reliable fuel supply to engines, and addresses critical operational scenarios such as hot weather and emergency conditions.
