KNOWN FUEL CONDITIONS

Based upon the Government's July 20, 2026 technical assessment, estimated fuel quantities are:

Fuel Cell Estimated Fuel Estimated Weight Left Main Fuel Cell 260 gallons 1,700 lbs Right Main Fuel Cell 260 gallons 1,700 lbs Left Auxiliary Fuel Tank 117 gallons 760 lbs Right Auxiliary Fuel Tank 0 gallons 0 lbs Estimated Total 637 gallons 4,160 lbs Quantities are estimates only. Actual quantities available for recovery may vary due to aircraft condition, leakage, environmental exposure, measurement uncertainty, or other site conditions.

The Contractor shall not base completion solely upon recovery of exactly 637 gallons. The requirement is to remove the recoverable JP-5 contained within the three identified fuel-containing cells.

KNOWN FUEL CELL CONDITIONS

Left Main Fuel Cell The left main fuel cell is located outside the aircraft fuselage and rests against the exterior of the damaged airframe on a downhill slope.

The cell is estimated to contain approximately 260 gallons / 1,700 pounds of JP-5.

Known conditions include:

• The cell is currently accessible.

• Debris and deadfall surround the cell.

• Breakaway valves appear to have closed and sealed the tank following impact.

• Stabilization may be required during defueling because of the weight, slope, and position of the cell.

• Movement of the surrounding airframe could cause the cell to move downslope if inadequately stabilized.

The Contractor shall determine and implement an appropriate method of safely accessing, stabilizing, and defueling the cell.

Right Main Fuel Cell The right main fuel cell remains within its compartment in the aircraft fuselage and is partially exposed due to damage to the underside of the aircraft.

The cell is estimated to contain approximately 260 gallons / 1,700 pounds of JP-5.

No suitable direct access point is currently identified. Access to the fuel bladder may require controlled access through portions of the damaged aircraft structure. Non-sparking tools shall be utilized where required for operations involving potential exposure to JP-5 or fuel vapors.

The Contractor shall determine and implement a safe method of accessing and defueling the cell while minimizing disturbance to the aircraft.

Personnel shall avoid positioning themselves beneath unstable portions of the aircraft to the maximum extent practicable. Removal of fuel weight may result in movement or settlement of the wreckage.

Left Auxiliary Fuel Tank The left auxiliary fuel tank is located on a downhill slope near a steep incline leading toward a ravine.

The tank is estimated to contain approximately 117 gallons / 760 pounds of JP-5.

The tank is presently considered stable but may shift as fuel weight is removed. An accessible manual fuel port is located on the uphill end of the tank.

The Contractor shall determine and implement the appropriate method of stabilization and defueling.

Right Auxiliary Fuel Tank The right auxiliary fuel tank is believed to be empty as a result of damage sustained during the mishap and is not presently anticipated to require defueling.
