HAR §19-37-4. Bonding

Prior to making any fueling connection to the aircraft, the fueling equipment shall be bonded to the aircraft by use of a cable, thus providing a conductive path to equalize potential between the fueling equipment and aircraft. The bond shall be maintained until fueling equipment connections have been removed, thus permitting the reuniting of separated charges that could be generated during the fueling operation. ( 1 ) In addition to the above, when fueling overwing, the nozzle shall be bonded with a nozzle bond cable having a clip or plug to a metallic component to the aircraft that is metallically connected to the tank filler port. The bond connection shall be made before the filler cap is removed. If there is no plug receptacle or means 37-3 §19-37-4 subdivision thereof, or any foreign government, or the United Nations. "Public Airport" means any areas of land or water under public or governmental ownership or jurisdiction which is used, or intended for use, for the landing and taking-off of aircraft and any appurtenant areas which are used, or intended for use, for airport buildings or other airport facilities or rights-of way, together with all airport buildings and facilities located thereon; provided, that federally owned facilities shall be included in this definition only to the extent of their use by non-military persons who hold a contract, lease, license, or other right granted by the department.
