Question 3582 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Federal Aviation Administration. The fuel transfer system for helicopter refueling must meet the standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing aviation safety in the United States, including the requirements for aircraft fuel systems and refueling procedures. The hoses used in the fuel transfer system must comply with FAA regulations to ensure the safe and proper handling of flammable aviation fuels. The other options are incorrect because the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates transportation accidents but does not set standards for fuel transfer systems, the Corps of Engineers is a military engineering organization that does not regulate civilian aviation, and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develops fire safety codes but does not directly oversee helicopter refueling operations.
