This study examines an accident during an in-flight refueling. Utilizing Rasmussen's Accimap and Leveson's STAMP/CAST methodologies, it identifies contributing factors and control failures. Emphasizing the demanding nature of in-flight refueling and the role of human factors, the study advocates for ongoing research in ergonomics. Methodologies' strengths and limitations are discussed.
