minimum altitude (used for air combat, TRAs)
What means on the deck?
at minimum altitude
What means bogey?
a radar contact, that is not identified
What means chopper?
helicopter
What means hot mission?
live identification
What means contact?
contact, in sight
What means negative contact?
no contact, not in sight
What means visual?
visual contact with a friendly aircraft
What means blind?
no visual contact with a friendly aircraft
What means no factor?
not a threat
What means midnight?
ADDC functions are no longer available (radar breakdown)
What means tractor?

What means ricochet?
motion of an object or a projectile rebounding from the surface
("Querschläger")
What means knock it off?
directive to cease air combat manoeuvres, attacks, activities
What's the content of a traffic information?
1. What (type of acft)
2. Where (position)
3. What altitude
4. Which direction
What means METAR?
Meteorological Aerodrome Report
-> statement of observed meteorological conditions related to a specified time and location and which will be published in intervals of 30 or 60 minutes
What does/can a MET report include?
- name of aerodrome and time of observation
- mean surface wind direction and speed, and significant variations there from
- visibility, including significant directional variations, when provided
- Runway Visual Range (RVR)
- present meteorological conditions
- amount and height of base of low clouds
- air temperature and dew-point temperature
- altimeter settings
- other supplementary information
- if appropriate, information regarding expected changes as indicated in the landing forecast
When can you use CAVOK in a METAR and what does it replace?
- VIS 10 km or more
- no cloud below 5'000 ft or highest MSA (Minimum Sector Altitude), whichever is greater
- no CB, no precipitation, no shallow fog, no low drifting snow, no thunderstorms
-> replace visibility, present meteorological conditions and cloud information
What are the Colour Codes?
BLUE+ -> Ceiling: no ceiling / < 20'000 ft ... VIS: > 8 km
BLUE -> Ceiling: 2'500 ft ... VIS: 8 km
WHITE -> Ceiling: 1'500 ft ... VIS: 5 km
GREEN -> Ceiling: 700 ft ... VIS: 3700 m
YELLOW -> Ceiling: 300 ft ... VIS: 1600 m
AMBER -> Ceiling: 200 ft ... VIS: 800 m
RED -> less than amber
BLACK -> airfield not useable for other reasons than cloud and/or visibility
When can you use "OPEN 5 / 2000"?
- wind within limits
- VIS more than 5 km
- ceiling at least 2'000 ft or MDH (minimum descend height) for circle to land approach +500 ft WIH
- WX: no shallow fog (MIFG), no thunderstorms (TS), no heavy precipitation
- RWY condition at least BA medium and no fluid contamination, no untreated sheet ice
What are the different RWY conditions? Define "standing water".
dry -> runway dry
damp -> change of colour
wet -> runway wet but no standing water
water patches -> standing water
flooded -> standing water
"standing water" -> more than 25% of runway surface area covered by water more than 3 mm deep
Which details do you have to state in a PIREP?
- altitude of phenomena (up to 5'000 in feet, above in FL)
- location / geographical details
- type of acft involved
- time of observation in UTC
What are critical weather conditions? (7)
- embedded CB
- icing
- squall lines
- turbulence
- wind shears
- mountain waves
- strong inversions
What means a steady green light for acft in flight and on ground?
in flight: cleared to land
on ground: cleared for take-off
What means a steady red light for acft in flight and on ground and vehicles? (ATMM)
in flight: give way to other aircraft and continue circling
on ground: stop
vehicle: stop
What means a series of green flashes to acft in flight and on ground and vehicles? (ATMM)
in flight: return for landing (clearance will be given in due course)
on ground: cleared to taxi
vehicles: permission to cross landing area or to move onto taxiway
What means a series of red flashes to aircraft in flight, on ground and vehicles? (ATMM)
in flight: aerodrome unsafe, do not land
on ground: taxi clear of landing area
vehicle: move off landing area or taxiway, watch out for aircraft
What means a series of white flashes to aircraft in flight, on ground and vehicles?
in flight: land at this aerodrome and proceed to the APRON
on ground: return to the starting point of the aerodrome
vehicles: vacate maneouvring area (in accordance with local instructions)
What means red pyrotechnique (acft in flight)?
notwithstanding any previous instructions, do not land for the time being
