CAS clearance types

---

This block is not in a published chapter and should not be relied upon.

Following a correct readback, the FAC may issue a clearance. The clearance type defines the level of engagement authority granted to the aircraft against the designated target or target area.

• Type II
  • Authorises a single engagement against the designated target.
• Type III
  • Authorises multiple engagements against the designated target or target area until:
    • The FAC terminates the engagement, or
    • The aircraft assesses the target has been neutralised

 

The FAC retains authority to adjust, restrict, or abort the attack at any time.

Aircraft may refuse a CAS request if they assess it creates unacceptable risk to the airframe or mission.
