A method of determining one or more fuel characteristics of an aviation fuel suitable for powering a gas turbine engine of an aircraft. The method includes: exposing the surface of a piezoelectric crystal to the fuel; measuring a vibration parameter of the piezoelectric crystal; and determining one or more fuel characteristics of the fuel based on the vibration parameter. Also disclosed is a fuel characteristic determination system, a method of operating an aircraft, and an aircraft.
