Communications with controllers
Pilots must maintain continuous communication with their assigned controller, providing regular updates on status and capabilities. Controllers will relay updates on ground and air situations and coordinate target assignments.
Key communication practices include:
- Checking in with your controller upon handoff and reporting any status changes.
- Receiving situation updates after check-in and when conditions evolve.
- Accepting target designations and guidance during attack phases.
- Obtaining clearance before engaging targets.
- Receiving Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) feedback and mission clearance when tasks are complete.
