The invention relates to equipment for refueling an aircraft, including a pipe (40) provided with means (42) for connecting onto an intake port (301) of the fuel tank of the aircraft (400) and, at or in the vicinity of the connection means (42), means (501) for determining the value of at least one parameter representative of a flow (E) of fuel passing through the connection means. Said equipment further includes at least one receiver onboard the refueling equipment (1), means (503, 504) for transmitting, to the receiver, a signal (Si(P)) representative of a parameter value predetermined by determination means (501) and an electronic unit capable of receiving, from the receiver, a signal representative of the parameter and of driving at least one flow control and monitoring device in accordance with the signal received from the receiver. The refueling method includes the steps of during a refueling operation, determining the value of at least one parameter representative of the flow (E) at or in the vicinity of the connection means (42), transmitting, to at least one receiver onboard the refueling apparatus, a signal (Si(P)) representative of a parameter value predetermined during the previous step, and automatically driving, in accordance with the signal received by the receiver, a flow control and monitoring device.
