Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument granted Qantas Airways (ARN 216147) a temporary exemption from the requirement to provide an earth (ground) point during refuelling. It allowed omitted earthing only if strict alternative electrical bonding and refuelling-method safeguards were used, prohibited wide‑cut fuel and overwing refuelling, and ran from 1 Aug 2010 to 31 Jul 2012.

The exemption did not apply where a different fuel‑loading procedure under CAO 20.9 para 4.2.4 was followed.
