Which color jersey is designated for fuel personnel on the flight deck?

On the flight deck, fuel personnel are designated by the color purple. This specific color coding is part of a broader system used in naval aviation to ensure safety and efficiency during flight operations. Each color jersey worn by personnel indicates a specific role and responsibility, helping to prevent accidents and maintain order on the busy flight deck.

The purple jersey signifies those who handle fuel, as well as the fueling and defueling of aircraft. This personnel are trained to manage the hazardous materials associated with aviation fuel and ensure that proper safety protocols are followed during fuel operations. The use of a distinct color helps all crew members quickly identify fuel personnel and ensures that they are easily recognized in the often chaotic environment of flight operations.

In contrast, other colors on the flight deck are assigned to different roles, such as flight deck directors, ordinance crew, and medical personnel. These color distinctions reinforce safe procedures and effective communications within flight deck operations.
