MEMORANDUM FOR 509 BW AND ALL PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO WHITEMAN AFB
FROM: 509 BW/CC 509 Spirit Blvd, Suite 509
Whiteman AFB, MO 65305-5055
SUBJECT: Whiteman Air Force Base Guidance Memorandum to AFI21-101_WHITEMANAFB Supplement 31 Jan 2017, Aircraft and Equipment Maintenance Management.
1. This is a Guidance Memorandum immediately implementing changes to AFI 21-101 WhitemanAFB Supplement dated 31 Jan 2017. Compliance with this Memorandum is mandatory. To the extent its directions are inconsistent with other Air Force publications, the information herein prevails, in accordance with AFI 33-360, Publications and Forms Management.
2. To continue sustained FY17 Flying Hour Program operations, Whiteman Air Force Base hot pitprocedures have been updated to allow increased refuel capability. The updated procedures allow for adjacent refueling of B-2 aircraft on hardstand 1-6 and conflict with current guidance in AFI 21-101 Whiteman AFB Supplement dated 31 Jan 2017.
3. A Site Certification Team was assembled on 11 May 2017 consisting of members from AMXS,Airfield Ops, QA, BW Safety, B-2 Fuels Mgmt, CE, and Fire Protection as required by AFI 21-101 AFGSCSUP dated 26 Oct 2015. All Site Certification Team members concurred on updating B-2 hot pit refuel operations to allow hot pit refueling on adjacent hard stands. Additionally, hot pad supervisor and hot pit supervisor checklist have been updated to reflect additional procedures required to ensure personnel and aircraft safety while performing adjacent hot pit refueling operations.
4. Current AFI 21-101 Whiteman AFB Supplement dated 31 Jan 2017 guidance is as follows:
a. 11.25.4.1.4.3. (Added) Ensure adjacent hardstands are not used during hot pit refuelingoperations. Example: If you are hot pit refueling on hardstand 2, you cannot park an aircraft on hardstands 1 or 3 for any reason.
b. 11.25.4.1.5. (Added) Supervisor will:
c. 11.25.4.1.5.1. (Added) Hot pit refuel on approved sites only. Simultaneous hot refuelingon these sites does not require a pad supervisor according to additional instructions and site certification team.
d. 11.25.4.1.5.2. (Added) All hardstands will only be hot pit refueled using systemsapproved by the site certification team.

e. 11.25.4.1.5.3. (Added) Contact MOC, Fire Emergency Services (FES) and POL prior to hot refueling, and be responsible for overall safety of refueling operation and conduct of maintenance crew members. In addition, they will ensure individuals assigned to the hot pit crews are fully qualified and use the hot pit refuel supervisor checklist to brief all personnel assigned to hot pits.
f. 11.25.4.1.5.4. (Added) The refuel supervisor is responsible for ensuring all equipment and personnel are in place 30 minutes prior to the first aircraft's scheduled arrival at the hot refueling area. Exception, the FES will be in place no later than 15 minutes prior to hot pit refueling operations.
g. 11.25.4.1.5.5. (Added) Ensure locally developed checklist procedures are strictly adhered to. The refuel or pad supervisor must ensure that only qualified personnel are allowed in the refueling area. The refuel supervisor will coordinate with the FES supervisor concerning quantity of fuel on board, amount to be serviced and emergency fuel spill response. h. 11.25.4.1.5.6. (Added) Ensure adequate lighting is available during hours of darkness. If ball park lights are inoperable, NF-2s (light carts), shall be positioned at the base of ball park lights forward of each wing tip ensuring proper clearance (normally 25 feet). The lights will be tilted so it will not impair the pilot's night vision. i. 11.25.4.1.5.7. (Added) Ensure a spill response kit is at each site prior to hot pit refueling operation to divert spills from the storm drains in the immediate area.
. j. 11.25.4.1.5.8. (Added) Will not start any hot pit refueling operation without the proper personnel and equipment. All shortfalls will be coordinated with Production Supervisor immediately. 5. This memorandum will replace the current guidance in AFI 21-101 Whiteman AFB Supplement dated 31 Jan 2017 as stated in paragraph 4 above with the following: a. 11.25.4.1.4.3. (Added) Ensure adjacent hardstands are not used during hot pit refueling operations, except for adjacent hot pit refuel servicing. Example: If you are hot pit refueling on hardstand 2 hardstand 1 and 3 become a part of the Hot Pit pad area, you cannot park an aircraft on hardstands 1 or 3 for any reason other than hot pit refueling.
b. 11.25.4.1.4.4 (Added) Aircraft will have current intent to hot pit before entering hot pad. Every attempt will be made to keep aircraft in a taxi configuration while in the hot pad area to ensure egress of aircraft is achievable. Red Balls will not be worked in hot pad area until all fueling operations are completed or adjacent hardstands are cleared. c. 11.25.4.1.5. (Added) Refuel Supervisor and/or Pad supervisors will:
d. 11.25.4.1.5.1. (Added) Hot pit refuel on approved sites only. Pad supervisor is only required when aircraft are to be hot pit refueled on adjacent hard stands. Example: aircraft hot pitting on hard stands 1 and 2. If open hard stand is between aircraft, pad supervisor is not required per sight certification.
e. 11.25.4.1.5.2. (Added) All hardstands will only be hot pit refueled using R-11 or R-12 vehicles.
f. 11.25.4.1.5.3. (Added) Contact MOC, Fire Emergency Services (FES) and POL prior to hot refueling, and be responsible for overall safety of refueling operation and conduct of maintenance

6.13.8.5. (Added) OCFs shall be of sufficient duration to assure aircraft is airworthy and
capable of mission accomplishment, and is determined by the aircrew.
6.13.8.6. (Added) OCF Release. An OCF release occurs upon the successful completion of all
requirements as determined by the OCF aircrew. The final decision to release rests solely with
the aircraft commander. An OCF conditional release may occur when the aircraft does not
successfully complete OCF requirements due to a specific system malfunction if the OCF
aircrew (in consultation with maintenance) determines the malfunction may be corrected without
generating another OCF. If on review of the corrective action the OCF aircrew accepts the
maintenance action as a satisfactory repair of the malfunction, they may release the aircraft from
OCF. Aircrews will ensure all required maintenance debriefing forms are completed. When the

suspension equipment in question is removed from the aircraft and functionally checked. Aircraft
and suspension equipment will remain impounded until cause of fault is specifically isolated to
the aircraft or the suspension equipment. The aircraft may be released from impoundment by 509
MXG/CC or designative representative prior to completion of the suspension equipment
functional checks. Both the aircraft and the suspension equipment will be on separate
impoundments. The impoundment books will follow the aircraft/suspension equipment until the

8.2.5.2. (Added) For on-site transfers, a CTK/or support equipment inventory must be
accomplished at the beginning and end of each shift. For daily operations, the Unit Production
Superintendent must authorize all CTKs and support equipment transfers. The support section
personnel will ensure that all CTKs and support equipment transfers are verified/inventoried by a
supervisor (SSgt/7 skill-level or above or civilian equivalent). The supervisor accomplishes the
inventory with the in-coming and out-going personnel at the job site and prints and signs their
names on the automated barcode system inventory sheet, 509 Tool Cross Chit Authorization
Form. Support section personnel will inventory items upon expiration of the 24 hour period.
8.2.5.2.1. (Added) During aircraft generations/contingencies the squadron maintenance
supervisor, superintendent, production superintendent or flight chief can extend the 24 hour
