What Does PLV Stand For?

PLV stands for Postlanding Vent

PLV, or Postlanding Vent, refers to a specialized system designed to facilitate the controlled release of air and other gases from an aircraft's fuel tanks after landing. This process ensures rapid depressurization, minimizing the risk of fuel vapor accumulation and ensuring safety in the post-landing environment. The PLV plays a critical role in maintaining aircraft integrity and operational safety by effectively managing fuel vapor control.
