A method of controlling maneuver of a refueling device, comprising: (a) providing the refueling device that is attached by means of a non-rigid hose to a component of an aircraft, wherein the refueling device comprises a nozzle configured for engagement with a receptacle located on a receiver aircraft; (b) providing a controller, associated with said refueling device; wherein said component is configured, in a response mode, to selectively maintain a reference force on said hose, wherein the controller comprising a processing circuitry, and wherein the method further comprising performing the following steps utilizing the processing circuitry: (c) obtaining a desired position of said refueling device, in the direction fore and aft, wherein the desired position comprising at least one of a waiting point position, an updated waiting point position, and an engagement enabling position; (d) obtaining a current position (660, 760, 8005) of said refueling device, in the direction fore and aft, utilizing at least one position sensor associated with the refueling device; (e) determining, based on at least the current position and the desired position of said refueling device, whether to extend or retract said hose; (f) in a case where the component is in a response mode, sending a command (830, 850) for adjusting the state of one or more force generating arrangements that are attached to said refueling device, causing said component of an aircraft to detect a changed force on the hose and to maintain said reference force on the hose, thereby changing the distance (675, 775) between the refueling device and the aircraft, wherein the distance is in the direction fore and aft; (g) repeatedly performing said (c) to (f) until the difference between the current position and the desired position of said refueling device is within a defined threshold, thereby facilitating at least one of: movement of the refueling device to one of the waiting point position and the updated waiting point position; movement of the refueling device from one of the waiting point position and the updated waiting point. (a) providing the refueling device that is attached by means of a non-rigid hose to a component of an aircraft, wherein the refueling device comprises a nozzle configured for engagement with a receptacle located on a receiver aircraft; (b) providing a controller, associated with said refueling device; wherein said component is configured, in a response mode, to selectively maintain a reference force on said hose, wherein the controller comprising a processing circuitry, and wherein the method further comprising performing the following steps utilizing the processing circuitry: wherein said component is configured, in a response mode, to selectively maintain a reference force on said hose, wherein the controller comprising a processing circuitry, and wherein the method further comprising performing the following steps utilizing the processing circuitry: (c) obtaining a desired position of said refueling device, in the direction fore and aft, wherein the desired position comprising at least one of a waiting point position, an updated waiting point position, and an engagement enabling position; (d) obtaining a current position (660, 760, 8005) of said refueling device, in the direction fore and aft, utilizing at least one position sensor associated with the refueling device; (e) determining, based on at least the current position and the desired position of said refueling device, whether to extend or retract said hose; (f) in a case where the component is in a response mode, sending a command (830, 850) for adjusting the state of one or more force generating arrangements that are attached to said refueling device, causing said component of an aircraft to detect a changed force on the hose and to maintain said reference force on the hose, thereby changing the distance (675, 775) between the refueling device and the aircraft, wherein the distance is in the direction fore and aft; (g) repeatedly performing said (c) to (f) until the difference between the current position and the desired position of said refueling device is within a defined threshold,
