Boeing 747 fuelling operation

- Hello everyone- how do you do. If any of you have ever wondered how we get our fuel tanks filled up with fuel, I’ve put together this video that shows what goes on. In case you wonder why nobody is wearing masks, this video was done in 2018, before Covid- relax. The process I show here is what we call ‘Manual refuelling’ as in we normally send fuel requests digitally to fuelling company. Today it’s by a fuel order form to engineers. Initially a standby fuel figure is requested while we wait for the Final Zero Fuel Weight for us to request final fuel required. There are captions explain what is taking place. The Earthing cord is for reduction of any static that could cause sparking(dangerous around fuel). In a lot of the more modern airports, fuel comes from a fuel farm via underground piping all around the aircraft parking stands. At the older airports, a fuel bowser/pump is utilised. In this video, the truck has a pump as well. Two refuelling receptacles are available under each wing on the B747. Not uncommon to use only one side- the system crossfeeds to other wing automatically during refuelling and ensures fuel tanks are balanced as per required fuel load. Hope you like it-
Later!😀✈️✈️✈️✈️
Used to be a refueler. Glad to say I don’t miss the smell of raw JetA1. Burnt JetA1 now that’s a different story!.
A lot of people like the smell of jet fuel exhaust 😀
Better than a good Barbecue!.
That liquid jet fuel is my cologne when I’m at work refueling 😂
I’m a fueler in Orlando (mco) most people never get to see the work of the fuelers lol it’s not a exciting job to some people but it’s important thanks captain and I hope you have many more glorious trips god bless 🙏
Thank you so much- all the best to you too.
Day by day i am learning more.Now i know few things that are happening while waiting for takeoff.Thanks captain
My pleasure to share information with you 😊
Oooh yes, I like the video very much! Very interesting to see the refuling process and the panel in detail! Thanks! 👍
my pleasure
Love these raw unedited videos, interesting job, I wanted to be a pilot but should have also tried to get a job on the ramp doing something like that, instead of stuck indoors all day. Would love to see some basic maintenance that is done. Keep the videos coming!
Love your videos! Keep doing what you're doing!
Absolutely love your videos Capt and love all of the very detailed information. I just did a tribute to one of our Quality Inspectors from Boeing who played a huge part in the building of -400 and -8’s on my channel. So inspired.
Excellent- thank you 😊
Wow, Captain, interesting video. I assume if those guys make a mistake, then they would have had their CHIPS? :-)
Ha ha
Love it. Thanks.
Keep those videos coming captain 👍
Earth lead to aircraft first then second one to ground .
So is it true a 747 fuel capacity is 63,500 gallons and burns a galleon a second, as that is the equivalent of 8 tankers of fuel
CLOSE TO IT YES. THE B747-400 Has a total fuel capacity of 203,000 kgs which is about 66000 Gallons. The B747-8 capacity is about 75000 Gallons.
No way these planes are holding over 600,000 pounds of fuel. That's equivalent to putting a hundred Ford f250 trucks worth of weight inside the wings. Not happening despite what you've been told to believe.
Closer to 430,000 lbs of fuel. It's got wing and a center body tanks for all that to go into. The MTW of a 747-8 is 975,000 lbs so that much fuel is not impossible.
Humans are bad at gauging large numbers. The wings are plenty large to hold a good portion of that 430,000 lbs between them.
Hi Captain, do airplanes have internal pumps for refueling or are external ones always required?
Some aircraft do have pumps but more often they rely on external pumps. That is because fitting own pumps would increase the aircraft weight, reducing payload etc
@@pilot_obet7815 Thanks a lot for the answer!
Cool. Thanks

Would it be difficult getting a ground ops job if I already passed the ground operations course at aviation institute of maintenance? Have a lot of general mechanical knowledge from working in diesel shops and that sort of thing. Currently maintain multiple diesel trucks for work.
thank you movie🎥
Hi pilot Obet 👋
How much do airport refuelers make? I will have 20 years of similar experience in the Army
Some companies pay better than others usually the bigger the company the cheaper the wages 😢

Hello captain,
How can you explain a wrong checklist process and how it might affect the all fight operations.
Is it possible to correct a wrong checklist while the plan is already airborne?
Thanks!
Hello- yes you can. Just redo where you started originally when you had the failure
Do you have to turn off all fuel pumps during refueling in the flightdeck?
Yes they are generally always all off. In some transfer situations or defuel, pumps may sometimes be turned on

Wow more than a 5,000 kilo imbalance at the time of that recording.

But how do you steer your aircraft when it is on the ground, Captain, I won't sleep until I know!
He's already covered that just look back through his previous clips
@@shazdaz1508 Really? Cool, I'll take a look. Thanks.
For taxi there's a handle in the cockpit, called a nosewheel tiller, that's essentially a steering wheel. It's for low speed and allows very sharp turns. During takeoff and landing roll you use the rudder pedals, they also turn the nosewheel but only a few degrees to each side.
It’s nothing like this
