# §29.1001. Fuel jettisoning.


If a fuel jettisoning system is installed, the following apply:

- (a) Fuel jettisoning must be safe during all flight regimes for which jettisoning is to be authorized.
- (b) In showing compliance with [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, it must be shown that—
  - (1) The fuel jettisoning system and its operation are free from fire hazard;
  - (2) No hazard results from fuel or fuel vapors which impinge on any part of the rotorcraft during fuel jettisoning; and
  - (3) **Controllability of the rotorcraft remains satisfactory throughout the fuel jettisoning operation.**
- (c) Means must be provided to automatically prevent jettisoning fuel below the level required for an all-engine climb at maximum continuous power from sea level to 5,000 feet altitude and cruise thereafter for 30 minutes at maximum range engine power.
- (d) The controls for any fuel jettisoning system must be designed to allow flight personnel (minimum crew) to safely interrupt fuel jettisoning during any part of the jettisoning operation.
- (e) The fuel jettisoning system must be designed to comply with the powerplant installation requirements of [§ 29.901(c)](/cfr/14/29.901.md?p=c).
