Aerial Refuel Disconnect pushing into the basket


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have been getting a disconnect after pushing slightly into the basket to stay connected during AAR. If you don't do this the basket will pull away and again, disconnect. Luckily the Fuel transfer rate is high....is this a known issue, you can push into the basket in the Harrier, no problem! Thanks Happy Refueling...:P.

Yep, I was wining about it in different thread putting the blame solely on the AI S3 Navy guy who didn't like the big "Marines" sign on my jet and I tried to show a quick vid of the event you described. Unfortunately I was using a VR set and the recorded vid showed a wide angle perspective in a narrow window:( making it look like a fast approach from stabilized all the way to connect so... someone pointed out to me that I hit the basket too fast. Well, perhaps I did. I learned to deal with it for now and any premature disconnect is nicely compensated with a really generous transfer rate. You can definitely get enough gas in few seconds to get back to the boat.
