CAS or AH
33

1000ft
38
How many stages are there in the CAS execution template
12
39
Why do CAS players use the template
So that the CAS aircrew and JTAC have a standard repeatable format to expect in a highly dynamic environment
40
What does the brevity term ROGER mean?
I have received and understood your transmission
41
What does the brevity term AFFIRM mean?
Yes
42
What does the brevity term TALLY mean?
Sighting of target via the pilots eyes
43
What are the two methods of attack and what do they mean?
1: BOT bomb on target is where the jtac talks the pilot visual onto the target 2: BOC bomb on coordinate is where the jtac give the coordinates of the that to the pilot
44

BOC
46
From who would you expect a read back from prior to a BOC attack?
All A/C delivering ordnance
47
Name some advantages of the BOT attack
Use for mobile tgts - tally the tgt then can maintain continuous observation
48
What is the content in the check on brief?

Type of control and method of attack
51
What is the nato standard for elevation
Feet amsl
52
What are the CAS brief mandatory readback items
Elevation, location, FF, restrictions
53
What are the four phases of cas
Planning Briefing Execution Reporting
54
What are the three holding patterns
Racetrack Fig 8 Wheel
55
Why would you make a control type 1
It is used when the JTAC/ FAC(A) requires control of individual attacks and the situation requires the JTAC to visually acquire the attacking A.C and the target for each attack.
56
You are in a bunker and acquire the A/C but you can see the tgt what type of control can you use
2+3
57
You are withdrawing from a position on the west side of a river that is being run by enemy tanks. All FFs have crossed the river to the East Bank and you want A/C to attack all enemy tanks until they are neutralised. What type of control could this be?
Type 3
58
You plan to hit a target with a bomb from an A/C that is above the clouds, what type of control could you use?
2+3
59
61.​Who retains the authority during all types of control?
GFC
