Tanker Talk: Air to Air Refueling Procedures

Remove the tracking section in your post. There’s already a dedicated thread for that.

Hopefully this gets around

This isnt meant to be a tracking thread, however it was a sugegstion for clearing up the tracking thread as when I have looked at it I find it hard to find any details of when a Tanker is available for business.

Just to add the KDC10 operations of the RNLAF, Eindhoven Air Base is their home. Mil AIP netherlands
ENR 1.1.9 Air Refueling Page 24 is what we are looking for.

It’d be interesting for both refueling AND commercial fights if they could program “holds” into the autopilots!

@David_Lockwood. MaxSez: Exceptional, Comprehensive, Professionaly Stated. This Topic belongs in Tutorials. It also should lead a single source separate Tanker Feature as previously posted. Or be established as the only FDS approved “Thread” for all things “Tanker related” member generated items by Link.

Having participated in Tanker Ops as the Tanker and Reciever in the RW, I consider this Topic the straight scoop!

Well Done Dave this Topic deserves a Golden Peanut;

to complete the Netherlands part:
there are two tracks for refuelling training in the current Netherlands AIP.
I have mad Flightplandatabase entry’s for them.

CAROL track
and
EHEH Eindhoven Air-Base, CAROL track, and back

POLLY track
and
EHEH Eindhoven Air-Base, POLLY track, and back

EHLW Leuwarden, EHVK Voelkel might be the realistic starting points for F16, the netherlands C130H where based at EHEH.
