As part of its efforts to modernize its facilities and improve service for pilots, the airport is replacing its former Coencorp system with a new computerized fuel management system (FMS).
Like the previous system, the FMS controls access to aviation fuel (100LL) and records transactions. However, the new system is based on more advanced technology, providing greater efficiency and more features for users.
Simplified fuel access
The new system uses identification chips to activate the fuel pump.
In the near future, this technology will also allow remote pump operation, making fuel access easier for users outside the airport.
Users who own a chip will also be able to register it at other airports using the same system, such as those in Neuville and Joliette. This will allow them to refuel there easily, just as they currently do at CSB3 Airport.
Chip distribution
To ensure continuity of service:
- Improved transaction traceability (useful for accounting and audits)
- This change will also help reduce administrative time related to fuel management and minimize billing errors.
Users who have already signed a contract with the SMB Airport Corporation (Fuel Up) will receive a chip free of charge.
New users can obtain a chip from the airport’s general manager for a cost of $30.
Benefits of the new system
- Implementing the FMS brings several improvements to fuel management ;
- Automated invoicing ;
- Real-time data access ;
- Better tracking of fuel sales ;
- Simplified user management ;
- Reduced administrative handling.
