Except in an emergency, tankers must obtain clearance from tanker control before transferring or dumping fuel.

Coordination and clearance from tanker control are required for safe fuel transfer or dumping. Fuel operations involve hazardous fluids, potential fire risk, and changes to the aircraft’s flight path that must be timed and sequenced with other air traffic. Tanker control ensures the receiving aircraft is properly positioned and configured, and it manages airspace separation and the exact location and timing of any fuel dump. Only in true emergencies would those procedures be bypassed, following established emergency protocols. So the statement is true.
