There is no way that the Release to Service flight trials unit would approve the use of tanker pumps that would exceed manufacturers' published limits on the receiver's aircraft.
Other way round, surely? There's no way any aircraft should be permitted to conduct AAR unless its fuel system can safely accept the standard fuel flow rates provided by the specified tanker.
