ATP-56B - Refueling Procedures
-
Hello,
Is anyone familiar with the radio silent procedures in the document below? I noticed it said nothing about requiring authentication and how you join the observer’s position so the tanker can acknowledge you’re presence. Does the tanker solely rely on AWACS for information on approaching aircraft? Or, does the tanker have it’s own way of detecting inbound aircraft with IFF?
Also is the refueling procedure we do in BMS considered EMCOM 1, 2, 3, or 4?

It’s kind of a hybrid – the way the comms menu works mechanically limits what we do. Until we get a natural language parser and a much smarter AI tanker crew into the code doing a more faithful job of the comms interactions and various EMCON levels is a bit tricky.
