Systems and methods for deploying and stowing a refueling boom (110). Deploying the refueling boom (110) includes lowering a refueling boom structure with a hoist (114) while a boom aerodynamic control surface (112) of the refueling is deactivated, determining that first transition conditions have been met, switching the hoist actuator state mode, and activating the boom aerodynamic control surface (112). Stowing the refueling boom includes flying the refueling boom towards a fuselage (120), determining that second transition conditions have been met, switching the hoist actuator state mode, and raising a refueling boom structure (116) of the refueling boom (110) with the hoist (114).
