What will the receivers not do in a turn at night? What is the exception?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Attempt probe-to-drogue contact (try to plug in the turn)
UNLESS an emergency fuel condition exists
What position does the receiver have to be in before a turn at night?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Refuelling (plugged)
Echelon (observation)
What is the CAUTION associated with contacting a malfunctioning drogue that is rotating greater than 1 revolution per second?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
May damage the probe nozzle lock ring
Contacts with this malfunction should be restricted to operational necessity.
What is the CAUTION associated with a malfunctioning drogue rotating clockwise? What is the exception?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Could result in partial or complete unthreading of the probe nozzle.
Contacts with this malfunction should be restricted to operational necessity.
What does it say about simultaneous refuelling procedures if the tanker is ready to begin refuelling before the receiver crosses over?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
The receivers on the left side may be cleared for contacts prior to the second element crossing over to the Observation Right position.
What is the extended observation position defined/depicted as?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
200’ outboard the receiver
100’ aft of the tanker
What is the NOTE regarding multiple receivers crossing over?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Receivers designated to refuel on the right hose may cross over individually, in sequential order, or simultaneously as a formation element.
What is the term used to request “on-call” or unplanned HAAR?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Texaco
What is the procedure for tanker no-shows?
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Receiver will continue along the refuelling track at the join-up altitude until reaching the abort point or turn point
List the types of Rendezvous (no definition)
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Bravo
Delta
Echo
Golf
Hotel
List the short definition for each rendezvous type
ATP-3.3.4.2 Chapter 3
Bravo - Head on
Delta - Head on offset
Echo - Orbit
Golf - En Route overtake
Hotel - Random
Phonetics
What’s an easy way to remember HAAR receiver low vs high?
Low has 3 letters, and low is 300’ below refueling altitude
High is 200’ because people get too high
What section is refueling and fuel dumping in?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
Section VIII(8)
What is the NOTE regarding fuel imbalance if both aren’t filled full?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
A fuel imbalance of up to 1200lbs is possible.
What could be wrong if the probe takes longer than 30 seconds to extend or 60 seconds to retract?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a NOTE, it may be experiencing a valve malfunction or fuel leak.
When will the PROBE FAIL caution illuminate?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a NOTE, if the probe does not lock while extending or retracting within 60 seconds.
How much of a delay is there between when the probe is commanded to extend or retract and when the pump starts?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
5 seconds
After what checklist can you no longer attempt to clear the weapon if it cannot be properly cleared?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a WARNING, after initiating the JOIN-UP checklist.
If you can’t properly clear your weapon (it’s unsafe/malfunctioning) what are your actions?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a WARNING, SAFE the weapon and notify the pilot immediatly. Don’t attempt to clear it after initiation the JOIN-UP. Do not remove it in flight. Positively control it and keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction and away from the refueling formation.
What does the NOTE say about refueling if a door or window can’t be properly closed/secured?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
Except during an emergency or when mission requirements dictate, contacts should not be made if any window or door is missing or cannot be properly closed/secured.
In what order do we move switches on the fuel probe panel?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
Left to right
Why is the order that we flip switches on the fuel probe panel important?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a NOTE, the probe will unlock if you leave the left switch in PROBE while trying to turn it off. SO, move left to right and switch the PROBE-OFF before trying to move the EXTEND/RETRACT to OFF.
What are some indications of a high-level shut-off valve failure? What do you do if this occurs?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a CAUTION, An overflow in conjuction with main fuel tanks indicating full are symptoms. Refueling shall be terminated to prevent further fuel overflow condition.
What if you see fuel spray from the nozzle and receptacle during fuel transfer?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a NOTE, you don’t have to stop refueling, a small amount is okay.
What can you expect to see when retracting the probe if the probe nozzle has been leaking?
1H-60(H) W DEC 23
It’s a NOTE, an increase in fuel spray may be experienced until the probe is fully retracted.
