Study for Fuel & Hydraulic Fluids

Used with brake and hydraulic systems with synthetic rubber seals. Comes with superior low temperature and good anti-wear properties. Common specifications are MIL-H-5606 and MIL-H-6083.

Aircraft manufacturers now recommend the use of this type of fluid in aircraft hydraulic systems (over mineral oil-based) because of the need for fluids

Most widely used in civil transport category aircraft. These fluids are extremely fire-resistant. Common specifications (brands) are Skydrol and Hyjet (Types IV and V).

The most commonly used jet fuels for commercial aviation. This is a refined kerosene-based type of fuel that's used in aircraft with turbine engines, including turboprops and jet engines. Color: Colorless or Straw-colored

The aviation fuel most commonly used in piston-engine aircraft within the general aviation community. This fuel is very volatile and extremely flammable, with a low flash point. Color: Green, Blue, Purple (varies with grade)

It's the most common alternative to Jet Fuel and AVGAS in civil aviation, and it contains a light mixture of 70% gasoline and 30% kerosene. It has a low freezing point of -600C, making it suitable for extremely cold countries. Color: Colorless or Straw-colored

This type of jet fuel is common in Russia, and it's modified with a freezing point of -50C, which makes it ideal for flying in cold areas. Additionally, since its flashpoint is 28C, it has high volatility. Color: Colorless or Straw-colored

This type of jet fuel mainly operates military airplanes such as US military and NATO air forces. It contains anti-corrosion additives and is designed for aircraft without heaters. Color: Colorless or Straw-colored
