Intro to 337th ACS STDs (AAE - 12) Flashcards
FACTOR TRAFFIC
- 19.2. Doghouse controllers and crewmembers will demonstrate awareness of stranger traffic internally by 15 NM. Doghouse crewmembers will demonstrate this awareness by (but not limited to): utilizing Mode C corridors, initiating “assumed friend” symbology on data within lateral confines of the airspace, and voicing the factor traffic information (location, heading, and altitude) to the crew NLT 15 NM. Students will show SA on factor traffic by pointing to the traffic on their scope, putting symbology on the traffic, and/or measuring the distance between factor traffic and aircraft under control using bearing and range. If ATC provides information to the WT, the WT will report this information to the controllers (location, squawk, and intentions at the minimum). If there are simultaneous missions in adjacent airspaces the 15 NM awareness standard will remain.
- 19.3. Controllers will advise aircrew of previously unreported aircraft NLT 10 NM that are inside of the airspace or that are a potential hazard. There is no altitude restriction associated with the 10 NM limit within the confines of the assigned airspace altitudes.
UHF GUARD
243.0
Compass Lake
1.2.7. Compass Lake. Compass Lake is an alternate airspace for MU-2 missions and some fighter missions. This area is comprised of the Tyndall B and H MOAs east of the 8540W line, from 9,000 feet MSL up to, but not including, FL180 and the ATCAA within the lateral confines of the Tyndall B and H MOAs east of the 8540W line is used by RAPCON for the movement of air traffic. MRU support is limited to 12,000 feet MSL to FL230 due to communication limitations with Cairns Approach.
E. MOA
1.2.5. Tyndall Low Level Area (LLA). Primarily broken into 4 areas (C, D, E, and G MOAs). Altitude limitations for C and D MOAs are 300 feet AGL to 4,000 feet MSL (up to and including 6,000 feet MSL is authorized for special exercises). E MOA altitude limitation is 300 feet AGL to 8,000 feet MSL excluding Apalachicola and Carrabelle Thompson Airports 1500’ AGL and 3 NM. E MOA is the typical operating airspace for MU-2 air-to-air missions and C, D and E MOAs are used for air-to-ground missions. G MOA altitude limitation is 1000’ AGL 17,999‘ MSL excluding Carabelle and St. George Airports 1500’ AGL and 3 NM. G MOA may be released when ACMIs are not being used in W470.

Altimeter Settings
1.2.1. Altimeter Settings. IAW TAFBI 13-204. For operations in overland (MOAs) or overwater (SUA) airspace, use standard altimeter setting (29.92) when operating at or above 5,000’ AGL and local altimeter when operating below 5,000’ AGL. If using a 5000’ AGL/AWL floor and altimeter drops below 29.92, use local altimeter to ensure adherence to AFI 11-214 restrictions for unlimited maneuvering. Use 29.92 for all tanker operations regardless of whether local altimeter drops below 29.92. Decafs will use local altimeter when operating in Compass Lake airspace.
LOCAL RADARS
The air picture comes from the J-11, J-10 and J-9 radar sites. J-11 (PAM) is located at Tyndall AFB, J-10 (CTY) is located at Cross City, FL and J-9 (QFN) is located at Ft. Green, FL.
Whiskey Alerts
- 18.1. Whiskey Alert. Provide the location from the nearest reference point, the mode 3, the altitude and the aircrafts intentions to get back into the airspace. Call sign of aircraft is not required for Whiskey Alerts.
- 18.2. Whiskey Alerts will be coordinated with ATC after the controller has given the fighter an airspace call and the fighter’s turn will not keep them in the airspace. WTs or controllers will not make repeated whiskey alerts unless the controlled aircraft inadvertently depart the airspace.
A/S Point Outs
controllers will make an airspace boundary call at 3 NM for fighters (5 NM for heavy aircraft) and provide corrective actions
