Support the in-flight fuel transaction process with shared documentation for tanker and receiver units, from DD 791 capture through follow-up.
WHAT IT DOES
Capabilities
DD 791 transaction management
A web-based process for the 791 in-flight refueling transaction, covering the record from capture through follow-up.
Tail-SMART assisted entry
Tail-SMART auto-fills the DD 791 from tail number information, which cuts transcription errors at the point where they are most expensive to unpick. It draws on aircraft inventory sources for Foreign Military Sales, Navy and Air Force aircraft.
Tanker and receiver in one workflow
Both sides of the refueling mission work from shared documentation instead of reconciling two separate paper trails. Approval routes through the boom operator, financial management, the WRDCO, the POL office and the command.
Electronic DD 791 and a searchable record
Generate the DD 791 electronically and retrieve any past one from a searchable database, rather than going back to paper.
Every revision tracked
Detailed audit tracking records what changed on each DD 791 and when, which is the evidence an audit asks for.
Billed to the right owner
Transactions are logged and billed against the correct unit, service, country or fuel source, including coordination with other services and with units that do not use the suite.
Mobile entry at the point of execution
The FSP Mobile app enters DD 791 data for in-flight transactions in real time with CAC authentication, and synchronises with the web application.
Alerts and follow-up
Transaction alerts, email notification and document upload keep questions moving, and supporting information stays attached to the transaction.
DD Form 791 and AFI 11-253 are defined in the flight support glossary.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about FIPM
What is a DD Form 791?
DD Form 791 documents an in-flight refueling transaction between a tanker and a receiver aircraft. FIPM manages that transaction process for both units.
Do tanker and receiver units both use FIPM?
Yes. FIPM is designed so both sides of the refueling mission work from the same transaction record.
Can crews enter 791 data in the air?
FSP Mobile supports real-time entry of DD 791 data for boom operators and flight support personnel, authenticated with a Common Access Card.
