Degradation of an airport’s aging fuel tanks is suspected, resulting in both rust and water contamination of the aviation fuel. Discuss the impacts of this scenario on the operation of aircraft fueled at this airport.

In this activity, you will take your learning to the next level by applying and synthesizing (A&S) concepts explored in this module.

Instructions

Choose one question option (1 or 2) to answer. Place your chosen question and the formulated answer* within a separate document.

Integrate information from the module lessons to develop and support your answers.

Your answer will be scored on completeness, correctness, clarity, and conciseness, and the degree of synthesis and application of the related concepts, not on how many words they contain.

Read through all sections before proceeding to the next page, and refer back whenever necessary.
