Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) for Aerial Refueling

Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) for aerial refueling are the strategic methods used by military aircraft to efficiently and safely transfer fuel mid-air. Tactics define overall strategies, such as timing and positioning, while techniques describe specific methods, like connecting the aircraft’s refueling boom or probe. Procedures are the step-by-step actions pilots follow during the process. Together, TTP ensure refueling is performed reliably, securely, and efficiently, enabling aircraft to extend their range, operate longer without landing, and complete complex missions across vast distances.
