Aerial refueling manual

 · The Air Force’s aerial refueling fleet is often described as a “high demand/low density” (HD/LD) force. The fleet is in high demand because of the operational benefit derived from aerial refueling, the long distances U.S. combat aircraft often must fly, and the multiple operations in which they are engaged. Despite numbering well over Aerial Refueling Track. Airspace established to accommodate refueling operations along a prescribed route. It consists of an air refueling initial point (ARIP), the air refueling control point (ARCP), and an exit point. Navigation checkpoints between the ARCP and exit point are specified if required to facilitate navigation along the track. Aerial refueling, also referred to as air refueling, in-flight refueling (IFR), air-to-air refueling (AAR), and tanking, is the process of transferring aviation fuel from one military aircraft (the tanker) to another (the receiver) during flight. The two main refueling systems are probe-and-drogue, which is simpler to adapt to existing aircraft, and the flying boom, which offers faster .

SAA, for the purpose of this manual, includes Special Use Airspace (SUA) (restricted area, military operations area (MOA), warning area, and alert area airspace), instrument and visual military training routes, aerial refueling tracks and anchors.
