AAR Objectives. The objective of AAR operations is to enhance combat effectiveness extending the range, payload or endurance of receiver aircraft. Successful AAR depends on 3 major factors: a. Equipment Compatibility. It is essential that aircraft requiring AAR are fitted with probes/receptacles and fuel systems compatible with the characteristics of the tanker aircraft employed, eg drogue/boom system, fuel surge pressures, fuel type etc. b. Performance Compatibility. It is essential for tanker and receiver aircraft performance to be compatible in terms of AAR speeds and altitudes. c. Procedural Compatibility. It is essential for tankers and receivers to employ pre-planned and compatible procedures for rendezvous, making contact, fuel transfer and departure.
