Who is qualified to inspect fuel samples?

The ability to inspect fuel samples is designated to specific personnel who have received the appropriate training and qualifications. This includes individuals such as the CDI (Collateral Duty Inspector), CDQAR (Collaterally Assigned Quality Assurance Representative), QAR (Quality Assurance Representative), shift supervisor, and qualified aircrewman. Each of these roles carries a level of responsibility and expertise necessary to properly assess the fuel quality, ensuring that the fuel adheres to safety and operational standards before use in aircraft.

This training encompasses knowledge of the fuel's physical and chemical properties, as well as the potential hazards associated with fuel contaminants, which is critical for maintaining flight safety. By restricting this responsibility to those who are specifically trained, the risk of compromising safety is minimized, thereby protecting both personnel and aircraft during operations. The other options do not account for the specialized training and qualifications necessary for such inspections, highlighting the importance of following established safety protocols and maintenance practices in aviation operations.
