Chapter 10 Military Specific Phraseology
1 Military Specific Phraseology
1.1 This Chapter details Military Specific Phraseology for specific use by military ATCOs
and military aircrew. The RTF described in this Chapter is complementary to NATO
STANAG 3817. It is also complementary to the remainder of CAP 413, as it either
differs from civil phraseology or there is no equivalent civil phraseology, e.g. in the
case of arrestor system procedures.
1.2 Civil pilots visiting military aerodromes will be expected to be aware of the military
phraseology in Chapter 10 and to comply with such instructions as may be issued by
military controllers during their visit. Where relevant, cross references from the
remainder of CAP 413 to the equivalent military phraseology are provided for the
assistance of civil pilots visiting military aerodromes.
