Defuel Internal Aircraft

If your operation has aircraft included in your MyFBO system as resources and you use the Resource Refuel feature, you are also able to use the Defuel feature to remove fuel from an internal aircraft. The removed fuel can be reassigned to:

• Another aircraft utilizing the same fuel type
• Returned to Vendor
• Dumped

When fuel is Returned to Vendor or reassigned to a different aircraft, any leaseback owners originally charged for the removed fuel will receive a fuel credit for the quantity removed.

Creating a Defuel Record

• Navigate to the Fuel Management menu.
• In the Aircraft Fueling section, select the aircraft to defuel and click the Defuel button.
• The next step is to select a previous fueling transaction from the past 30 days and choose the fuel destination in the Reassign Fuel drop down.
• On the following page, enter the quantity of fuel to be removed (cannot exceed the original amount in the previously selected transaction), the Hobbs and Tachometer readings, and the date of the defuel transaction.
• If returning to vendor, you may also change the fuel price to reflect a difference from the original purchase. The price entered here will be credited on the aircraft resource account and to any associated leaseback owners.
• If reassigned to a different aircraft, also verify the Hobbs and Tachometer readings for the aircraft receiving the fuel.
• Click the Defuel button to complete the defuel record.  

Note: If an internal aircraft does not appear on the drop down selector, it is because a fuel type has not been set for that aircraft. This is accomplished by Manager level staff or higher from the Manage Tab:

• Select the Manage Tab.
• Select Resource Management.
• Scroll to the option Change ALL Resource.
• From the drop down, select Data: Aircraft Information.
• Set the fuel type for each aircraft and Update.
