Special Operations Terminal Attack Controller Course (SOTACC) Day 2 Practice Test

Wings Level is a status call from the aircraft indicating it has achieved stable, level flight and is ready for the next step. In JTAC procedures, that readiness cue prompts the JTAC to issue the clearance to proceed with the attack. It’s not a statement of intent to engage, nor an indication of inbound or leaving an IP; those would be conveyed by different calls. So the JTAC should prompt for clearance, enabling the pilot to receive the authorization to attack.
