TWO-MINUTE PRIOR, MARK-ON-TOP AND WINGS LEVEL CALLS

400.

INTRODUCTION

The pilot and NFO must both strive to keep ahead of the aircraft during all phases of flight. It is

the NFO's responsibility to cue the pilot at certain times so that he/she may properly anticipate

future events. These cues will normally take place near checkpoints and signal changes of

course and updates to fuel and time estimates. The three required calls are the TWO-MINUTE

PRIOR, MARK-ON-TOP, and WINGS LEVEL Calls.
