True 2. False The flow control handle of the pressure refueling nozzle must be placed in the FULLY OPEN or FULLY CLOSED position. Why is the handle not allowed to “float” when refueling? 1. 2. 3. 4. To prevent excessive wear on the aircraft adapter and the nozzle poppet To ensure the station will go into the defuel mode if an emergency occurs The time it takes to refuel the aircraft will double The possibility of contamination iS increased Who is responsible for ensuring the aircraft is fueled to the correct fuel load? 1. Crewleader 2. Yellow shirt 3. Air Boss 4. Plane captain 32
