Description
The AE-5 48 Committee is seeking volunteers to contribute to the work of the technical committee, vote on all technical report ballots in a timely manner and maintain active participation on the technical committee.
The SAE AE-5 Aerospace Fuel, and Lubrication Systems committees address all facets of aerospace fuel, inerting and lubrication systems design, maintenance, and in-service experience. The group is comprised of four committees dedicated to creating, preparing, and maintaining all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for fuel, inerting and lubrication systems. These committees include:
AE-5A Aerospace Fuel, and Lubrication
AE-5B Aircraft and Engine Fuel and Lubricant System Components
AE-5C Aviation Ground Fueling System
AE-5D Fuel Tank Flammability Reduction Systems
Participants in the SAE AE-5 committees include OEMs, suppliers, processors, consulting firms, government, and others across the aerospace and defense industries.

Work Conducted E-mail, teleconference, face-to-face meeting, Webex.
Benefits of Participation: Volunteers have the opportunity to help develop globally used standards of interest to the member and the opportunity to meet with peers to discuss technical issues of mutual interest.
Leadership Skills Obtained in this Role: Volunteers will work as a team and have the opportunity to assume committee leadership positions.
Time Commitment: Commitment varies based on the particular committee meeting schedule. The member should be able to attend most face to face meetings and teleconferencing events as well as provide input into the development of standards between meetings. Member must also respond to document ballots through the year.
