It's not just me doing it -- it's our FBO. And a dozen or more
aircraft owners on our field alone.
They would appear to be breaking the law, if you consider city code
of Iowa City "the law."
13-4-3: REFUELING AND DEFUELING AIRCRAFT:
The following general rules shall govern refueling, defueling, oil
service and sumping of aircraft and placing fuels in storage tanks
or
dispensers:
A.Aircraft Not To Be Running Or In Enclosed Space: No aircraft
shall
be refueled, defueled or oil serviced while aircraft engines are
running, when aircraft is being warmed by application of heat or
when
aircraft is in a closed hangar or a congested or an enclosed space.
So, if I'm reading this right, having a 40-foot by 25 foot front of
the building (AKA: a bi-fold door) open (as in, the front of the
building is missing), we are not refueling in a "closed hangar, or a
congested or an enclosed space."
Thanks for clarifying this, Stella. I'm glad the statutes support
our
actions.
We could alwasy ask the fire chief.....
