In the CAS Execution Template, which step establishes the initial Routing / Safety of Flight?

• A. Game Plan
• B. Routing / Safety of Flight
• C. CAS Aircraft Check-In
• D. Remarks / Restrictions

Answer: (B)

The step that establishes the initial Routing / Safety of Flight is the Routing / Safety of Flight step itself. This phase lays out the aircraft’s intended path and the safety constraints that must be followed, creating the deconflicted baseline for the mission. It covers the ingress/egress routes, preferred altitudes, and any airspace or hazard considerations so everyone involved knows how the aircraft will move and what safety rules govern that movement. Once this baseline is set, the rest of the template can build on it: aircraft check-in to confirm readiness, remarks and restrictions for any special notes, and the broader game plan for how the strike or support will unfold.
