In the interests of safety and knowledge that everyone can understand exactly what is being asked of them it is important for military aircrew and civil controllers to be sure of others’ intentions. This is particularly true when the military pilot is operating as GAT.
IFATCA Policy is:When military aircraft operate as General Air Traffic (GAT), standard ICAO phraseology should be the norm. Where controllers are expected to handle military aircraft on a regular basis, they should be made aware of military phraseology differing from ICAO standards. |
