Applicability
 This AC provides an acceptable means of complying
with Part 139 for all Part 139 airport operators.

Training
 Training performed under the supervisory training
program must use an FAA authorized Supervisory Fuel

 Line service fuel safety training for other employees may
be provided by a supervisor who has completed the
supervisory course or an authorized fuel safety training
program.
 The material and program used by a certified supervisor to
provide training to their company employees does not
need to be reviewed or approved by the FAA.
 Using an approved line service fuel safety course does not
relieve a fueling agent from the obligation to have at least
one supervisor complete a supervisory fire safety course.
