Carrying a Jerry Can?

[walrus]

Is it legal? Full or empty?

On "away" trips I carry two empty 20l collapsible (bladders) jerry cans. Essential for off field fuel pick up. I have heard of pilots who have fitted them with in flight fuel transfer capability but not me. As for legality? no idea.

Pretty sure it's legal so long as they are 'approved' ie, have the relevant UN markings on them.

From the new CASR:
92.B deals with Conditions of carriage of DG, DG manuals, etc
92.C deals with DG training,

 

92.175  Goods carried by private operators

Subparts 92.B and 92.C do not apply to the carriage of dangerous goods by an aircraft operated by an operator engaged in private (non‑commercial) operations if:

(a)  the aircraft is operating in Australian territory and:

(i)  is unpressurised; and

 (ii)  has an approved passenger seat configuration of less than 10 seats; and

(b)  the goods:

 (i)  are in a proper condition for carriage by air; and

 (ii)  are identified by class in accordance with the Technical Instructions; and

 (iii)  are permitted by the Technical Instructions to be carried on a passenger or cargo aircraft; and

 (iv)  are stowed and secured on the aircraft to prevent movement and damage, and segregated in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Instructions if they are likely to react dangerously with one another; and

(c)  the pilot‑in‑command of the aircraft ensures that every person on board the aircraft knows, before boarding the aircraft, that the dangerous goods are on board.
