"OPERATIONAL BREVITY WORDS AND TERMINOLOGY"


The following are two lists of operational brevity words and
terms to provide common understanding and minimize radio
transmissions while executing tactics described in this manual.
This common understanding, however, is dependent on the
following rules of engagement:
  • These lists are not all inclusive.
  • Use plain English when required.
  • Words listed below should be used in lieu of words or
  • phrases with similar definitions.
  • When a flight lead makes directive calls, the wingman must
  • respond with the directed action to the best of his
    ability.
  • If the wingman uses a "directive" term/word, it is a
  • request and the flight lead reserves the right to
    approve/deny the wingman's requested action.

    Allied nations may have different meanings for some of the
    terms/words listed here (reference ACP 165). They are indicated
    by an asterisk (*) behind the term/word.

    have a common point of intersection. The aircraft
    longitudinal axis is parallel to the fuselage reference
    line. Aircraft rotation around this axis is roll or bank.
    The aircraft vertical axis is perpendicular to the
    longitudinal axis through the center of the aircraft.
    Rotation around this axis is yaw. The aircraft lateral
    axis is perpendicular to both the longitudinal and
    vertical axes at the point of intersection. Rotation
    around this axis is pitch.

    tanker. Information call indicates a turning engagement
    about a specific location.

    Человек ищет вебсайт, где может скачать или послушать (mp3 или real audio) переговоры реальных пилотов. Лучше, если они будут военными пилотами реактивного самолета.

    Der Mensch sucht die Web-Seite, wo (mp3 oder real audio) die Verhandlungen der realen Piloten bekommen oder hören kann. Es ist besser, wenn sie die Militärpiloten des reaktiven Flugzeuges werden.

    La personne cherche le site, où peut recevoir ou écouter (mp3 ou real audio) les négociations des pilotes réels. Il vaut mieux, si ils seront les pilotes militaires de l'avion à réaction.

    Помогите же человеку! :D:):p:cool:

    sposibo za perevod, prosto davno polzovolsa ruskim jazykom, tak pozabyl nemnozko. :)
    kto interesuetsa mozet glianut zdes web page i v Sound bites poslusat audio klip F16 Down (Real audio). vot cto to tomu podobnoe ja i isciu.
     
    >tak pozabyl nemnozko.

    Ничего, мы здесь не кусаемся. :D

    Netgi Lietuviskai kalbame, jei reikia. :p
    (крючочки и точки над и под буквами подразумеваются)

    Кстати, справа-снизу - кнопочка Translit. Волшебная. :)
    А вот по вопросу -помочь ничем не могу, к сожалению.

    Вот ТУТ кое что есть, но только рядом с темой.
    Here THAT is, but only near to a theme.

    Vale, а эт ты про что? Я литовской мовы не разумею...:-)
       
    Это я про то, что некоторые тутошние люди таки её разумеют, и могут это разумение применить, если что. А Андрюс по-русски вполне нормально пишет, только про транслит ещё не знает :D Так что завязывай с английским. :)

    Да ради бога! Просто человек задал вопрос на аглицком, я ему на нем и ответил. Вон, с СуперФланкером я по немецки общаюсь, со всеми остальными - на русском. По мне так лишь бы общение шло! :D
