operational practices to study the proposals and other options to enhance fuel system safety. A
response titled, “The response to the Federal Aviation Administration’s Request for Comment
Titled ‘Fuel Tank Ignition Prevention Measures’ Dated April 3, 1997” dated August 1, 1997, was
submitted jointly by the Air Transport Association of America (ATA), the Association of Asia
Pacific Airlines (AAPA), the European Association of Aerospace Industries (AECMA), the
Association of European Airlines (AEA), and the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA).
In the course of preparing the industry’s response, and as one of the industry’s recommendations,
an extensive voluntary program was initiated to assess the condition of fuel tank systems in the
fleet and determine whether design and continuing airworthiness philosophies employed in the
design and maintenance of fuel tank systems ensured the safety of the traveling public. The
program is titled the Aircraft Fuel System Safety Program (AFSSP). This report summarizes the
results to date of this industry program.
2.2 Scope
The AFSSP is one of many important efforts undertaken by the aviation industry to enhance fuel
systems in response to the loss of TWA Flight 800. Other activities that are providing valuable
insight and actions with regard to airplane fuel system safety include the TWA 800 accident
investigation; the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) Fuel Tank Harmonization
Working Group (FTHWG); the FAA’s Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) 99-18
“Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review, Flammability Reduction, and
Maintenance and Inspection Requirements;” the Aging Aircraft System program, numerous
government- and industry-sponsored research projects, ongoing regulatory authority continued

airworthiness programs, and manufacturer and operator safety programs. These activities are
generating and will continue to generate improvements and enhancements to aircraft fuel systems.
The scope of this report is limited to the AFSSP.
2.3 Industry Commitment
The following excerpt from the industry’s “Fuel Tank Ignition Prevention Measures” response to
the FAA outlines the goals of the AFSSP.
“The industry is fully committed to enhancing aviation safety and believes that efforts
should be based on facts. The data available at this time indicates that the best prevention
strategy should focus on improvements—design, operation, or maintenance—to enhance
fuel tank systems. Therefore, the industry plans to voluntarily undertake either a sampling
of high-time aircraft or major fuel tank inspection programs to verify (1) the integrity of
wiring and grounding straps; (2) the conditions of fuel pumps, fuel lines and fittings: and
(3) the electrical bonding on all equipment. The inspection program will not be limited to
the Boeing 747; rather, Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and McDonnell Douglas1 have
agreed to jointly sponsor a program that covers all of their respective models. In addition,
the airlines represented by the ATA, AEA, and the AAPA have agreed to participate in
these inspections. The inspection programs findings will be coordinated through the
international industry fuel tank inspection task forces. The industry proposes that task
force participation include the FAA and international authorities. Subject to agreement
with the authorities, the industry would propose to share task force findings and plans with
the public on a timely basis.”
The following mission statement was developed by the AFFSP to guide and focus the efforts of
this program:
“Through worldwide industry collaboration, take appropriate action to ensure, maintain
and enhance the safety of fuel systems throughout the life of the aircraft.”
The AFSSP has encompassed four areas of activity:
! Assess the in-service condition of fuel systems in the commercial aviation fleet.
! Analyze data and share results.
! Based on inspection data and analysis, recommend enhancements to current design,
operations, and maintenance practices and programs.
! Communicate results.
1 British Aerospace, Fokker, and Bombardier became official members of the AFSSP shortly after the inception of the
program.
