GENERAL
Overseas Territories Aviation Circulars are issued to provide advice, guidance and information on standards, practices and procedures necessary to support Overseas Territory Aviation Requirements. They are not in themselves law but may amplify a provision of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order or provide practical guidance on meeting a requirement contained in the Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements.
PURPOSE

- Aviation fuel quality standards
- Certification of aviation fuel products

- Procedures for safe fuel handling and dispensing into aircraft
The guidance aligns with widely recognised industry frameworks such as Joint Inspection Group (JIG) standards, IATA Guidance Material, ASTM specifications (e.g. ASTM D1655 for Jet A/Jet A-1), and ICAO technical manuals.
