well as people wander into the target area (motorcycles, ATV’s). If you abort a run due<br />
to one of the mandatory abort criteria, there is no need to call “ABORTING” to everyone.<br />
Keep flying the aircraft within safe parameters, safe up the system, call “OFF” when it is<br />
time to and continue to fly the pattern.<br />
“JOKER” and “BINGO”<br />
The “JOKER” call is made in conjunction with your position call. Lead will<br />
acknowledge the call and have the entire flight “RESET BINGO”. Once one aircraft calls<br />
JOKER, there should be no others calling it. One call is good for the entire flight since<br />
the flight can only fly as long as the aircraft with lowest fuel state.<br />
If you hit “BINGO” while still in the pattern, call it out at anytime. There is no need to<br />
call out “BINGO” when executing the Off Target Rendezvous. You are on your way<br />
home at that point. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you NEED to put<br />
the needle on the nose to execute an immediate BINGO profile, call it out and do it.<br />
Instructor Note: Have students to reset BINGO setting when they are within 100 lb of<br />
JOKER. They should know that 1.2 for example equals “JOKER”. When they get to the<br />
position call with 1.2, they call “JOKER” not 1.2. You do not need to wait for the<br />
BINGO to flash to report “JOKER”. If they get to the position call with less than<br />
“JOKER” and “JOKER” has yet to be called, then they will report “JOKER MINUS<br />
ONE (as applicable)” Also, this will prevent the BINGO from going off on the first run<br />
in the 10 degree pattern and prevent an aborted run.<br />
“IN, (Card. Dir.), CCIP”<br />
The “IN, (Card. Dir.), CCIP” is a call to let Lead know you are dropping in the CCIP<br />
mode. CCIP hits are not counted in your overall CEP. Some of our aircraft are not<br />
properly boresighted and drop long, so unless you want bad hits in your CEP, it’d be wise<br />
to state that you are dropping in the CCIP delivery mode.<br />
“SIMO RUN, SIMO RUN”<br />
A Simo run is a condition when you have two aircraft occupying the same piece of sky<br />
not knowing that the other aircraft is there. The name results from two aircraft<br />
simultaneously running on the same target or attacking the target at the same time.<br />
Aircraft collision would be immanent. Although a Simo Run can take place at any point<br />
in the Weps pattern, there are two places in the pattern in particular which it is more<br />
likely to occur; those being the Abeam and the Roll-in.<br />
A Simo Run at the Abeam occurs when the “OFF” aircraft sees an aircraft at the Abeam,<br />
thinks it’s his interval and pulls to the Abeam referencing that aircraft when in fact his<br />
interval is actually Prior or Crosswind. This is also where calling the proper position on<br />
your position call is crucial to Situational Awareness.<br />
