The radio call applies to all phases of flight and all types of dynamic maneuvers and shall use the

following format:

Any aircraft: "[tac call sign] knock-it-off."

Lead: "[tac call sign] one knock-it-off."

Wing: "[tac call sign] two knock-it-off."

Aircraft who called the knock-it-off should communicate the reason.

If the Knock-it-off is called by Dash-2 for a blind situation the following format applies.

Wing: "[tac call sign] 2's BLIND, knock-it-off."

Lead: "[tac call sign] one knock-it-off."

Wing: "[tac call sign] two knock-it-off."

Lead: "[tac call sign] one is heading_____ at _____ feet."

Lead will command a rejoin once Wing obtains visual.

Terminate. The "terminate" call is not related to safety of flight and is typically used once

training or maneuvers are complete. "Terminate" shall be called by Lead to cease or stop the

Cruise Maneuvering and Tail-Chase exercises. Dash-2 can request a "terminate" if training

objectives have been met. The radio call uses the same format as the "knock-it-off" call. If the

call is made by Lead, the following applies:

Lead: "[tac call sign] terminate."

Lead: "[tac call sign] one terminate."

Wing: "[tac call sign] two terminate."

Lead will typically direct a rejoin.
