AAR (Receiver) Flashcards
______ Due to the lack of surge protection features, reverse refueling is prohibited
[AAR E]
Except in an emergency, do not engage or disengage the _____ while in the contact position
SYD
When transferring fuel, only _____ A/R pump(s) shall be operated at a time. This precludes the possibility of over-pressurizing a fuel tank if a fuel level control valve fails in the open position
1
Monitor the fuel quantity gauges to avoid exceeding airplane ___ limits.
CG
[Manual Boom Latching] The receiver must initiate all disconnects before _____
exceeding any of the limits
The _____ valve will be CLOSED before operation of the air refueling pumps because fuel pressure surges could cause of rupture of the ___ manifold in the cockpit area
Main ARR/IFR, ARR
A controlled tension brute force disconnect will be accomplished only _____
as a last resort, after all other normal and emergency methods of disconnect have failed
The receiver pilot should use caution not to overrun the tanker. If overrunning does occur, under no conditions should a turn, either left or right, be made until _____
a breakaway has been completed
Approaching boom limits at relatively high velocity can cause ____ due to binding action of the boom nozzle
structural damage as a result of an inability to disconnect
The receiver will stabilize in the astern position with a ___ rate of closure.
Zero
If the receiver director lights fail to illuminate when contact is established, the ____ will inform the ____ if refueling operations are to be continued. At this point verbal corrections from the boom may be requested
Receiver pilot, boom operator
The boom operator is unable to release the boom toggles during manual boom latching (T/F)
True
One of the greatest potential hazards during AR is _____
Fatigue
On becoming fatigued or if for any reason large oscillations develop which require increasing amounts of control displacement, break contact and _____ the airplane in the astern position for a few minutes
let the other pilot fly
Attempts to effect a contact during loss of any AR lighting that results in less than desired illumination will be at the discretion of the _____
Boom operator
