![]() The objective of these test was to achieve the certification of the in-flight refueling system, that has been adopted on the 12 C-27Js in service with the 46^ Brigata Aerea (Air Brigade) in Italy and on one of the three examples in service with the Lithuanian Air Force. The aircraft used for these tests, piloted by Alenia Aermacchi test aircrew, was modified with the integration of a complex instrumentation dedicated to controlling the engine parameters, propellers, transfer of fuel and flight controls, in order to meet the requirements requested by the military certification. Also confirmed during these test was the superior quality of the C-27J as an aircraft receiver also in conditions of slipstream turbulence generated by the tanker.” The test confirmed the high capability of fuel transfer (up to 2800 litersmin) predicted in the planning phase, allowing for a complete replenishment of the tanks in only 5 minutes. A formal school course that result in the award of a 3-skill level AFSC. This is the capstone for awarding the 3-skill level. The C-27J during AAR as seen from the KC-767 Air Refueling StationĪccording to Alenia Aermacchi “the preliminary results highlighted the exceptional flying quality of the C-27J, in both the day and night contacts. In Flight Re-Fuelling By GAJ52, Augin Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) GAJ52 Member Members 49 754 posts Location:3.2 DME West EGLL Donor Posted AugMy inflight refuelling skills in DCS are rubbish, but in MSFS refuelling the C172 in flight is a piece of cake. The initial qualification evaluation is an air refueling flight that denotes the conclusion of FTU training (KC-10), or conclusion of technical school training (KC-135, KC-46). The flight tests were conducted at various altitudes, between 10,000 and 20,000 feet, and speed up to 220 knots, and also included night aerial refueling with the aid of Night Vision Goggles as well as plugs with the refueling basket in turbulence and during emergency descent.
