Aerial Refueling Tanker and Receiver Similarity Criteria

Abstract

This document provides guidance on the criteria for a Tanker/Receiver Similarity Statement that attempts to identify relevant similarities with, and differences to, a previously cleared receiver aircraft with a given, paired tanker. The criteria should identify any significant differences that need to be addressed by further examination and evaluation. Any restrictions/cautions identified from the Technical Compatibility Assessment (TCA) used, need to be examined for applicability to the similarity aircraft. This process enables the production of a new TCA to enable a Read-Across aerial refueling clearance.
