JET A*1

Jet A*1 is a kerosene grade of fuel suitable for most turbine-engined aircraft. It is produced to a stringent internationally agreed standard, has a flash point above *8°C (**0°F), and a freeze point maximum of **7°C. It is widely available outside the U.S.A. Jet A*1 meets the requirements of British specification DEF STAN ****1 (Jet A*1), (formerly DERD ***4 (AVTUR)), ASTM specification D***5 (Jet A*1), and IATA Guidance Material (Kerosine Type), NATO Code F**5.

JET A

Jet A is a similar kerosene type of fuel, produced to an ASTM specification and normally only available in the U.S.A. It has the same flash point as Jet A*1 but a higher freeze point maximum (**0°C). It is supplied against the ASTM D***5 (Jet A) specification.

JET B

Jet B is a distillate covering the naphtha and kerosene fractions. It can be used as an alternative to Jet A*1 but because it is more difficult to handle (higher flammability), there is only significant demand in very cold climates where its better cold weather performance is important. In Canada, it is supplied against the Canadian Specification CAN/CGSB 3.*3
