Channel
Heading
Airspeed
So... an F4u with 50% Fuel, 2 eggs,
radio on Chan'
713, Heading 330', KIAS
150 would be typed as:
F4u 50 2 713 330 150
POSITION REPORT:
Give your Sector Number, "Keypad" part of that
sector and Altitude in 1,000s of feet (K)
e.g. 12 15 5 20K
NME POSITION REPORTS
Report enema's in the same way:
Sector and Keypad and Alt' in K
i.e. Cz B17, 17 12 5 22K
For all position or spotting reports, the "X" instead of a keypad number means
intersection of sector grid lines.
12 15 X is the intersection of the 12 vertical and 15 horizontal grid
lines.
STATUS
Flight lead types "J stat?" = Jo your Status ?
Answer always in F A P P form:
Fuel %
Ammo % + eggs if you have any
Pings/damage estimate
Problems)
Problem codes are:
F - fuel leak
O - oil leak
P - flaps stuck
G - gear stuck
For example If I have 24% fuel, 50% ammo, 1 egg, and some pings with flaps stuck, short standard answer to "J Stat" would be: 24 50 0 P50% G
If lead just types "STAT?" without a call Letter everyone type the standard reply.
If the lead pilot calls Regroup after a skirmish he will type :
r X 12 15 20K
Flight will regroup
at intersection 12 15 20K
EMERGENCY
To call for an emergency "clear my 6" help just press the "/" and return
keys.
Everyone else sees is your CPID and will come to help.
To tell somebody else to check 6 type "/" and their call letter.
To warn Jo type: /J6 or /J666 or
/j6hi Jo check 6 high.
to warn someone to check 6 and it it is so important that you
don't have time to type their cpid then type: /666
If you see just 666 first EVADE then look behind yourself then check everybody
else's 6.
Use the clock-face as well, i.e. /w 999 = witch watch out left.
