Planning Data

Refuelling Height and Speed. Refuelling operations may be carried out between 1000 and 35,000 ft at speeds between 250 and 325 KIAS. Operations below 10,000 ft require special authorization.
Maximum Transferable Fuel. Fuel transfer is carried out from the B707’s normal fuel tanks. The maximum fuel load for the B707 is 158,000 lbs. The maximum fuel offload is dependent upon a number of factors including sortie length, holding requirements and availability of alternate airfields. A representative offload of 100,000 lbs is available assuming a 2½ hr sortie with a fuel burn rate of 15,000 lb/hr and minimum reserve requirements.
Fuel Transfer Rate. The fuel transfer rate is 400 gallons/minute.
Regulated Fuel Pressure. The AAR pod’s ram air turbine (RAT) is automatically adjusted to ensure that the fuel pressure at the coupling is regulated to 50 ± 5 psi irrespective of fuel flow.
