Todays NOTAMs, Dynamic Air Support at Ivo Cluck Hill.

Standard exercise stuff about aircraft not being able to comply with rules of the air as far as I can see, in the vicinity of Cluck Hill.

As for the term Dynamic Air Support - some JHC staff officer probably got promoted for inventing that one

500, I know about the exercise. It's the term DAS that gets me!!
Management speak for flying???

Management speak for flying???

yup! Since CAS would imply FJ air to ground stuff, I guess that DAS is the helicopter equivalent, probably AH64.

Staff-speak - same as management speak only less intelligible (if that is possible)

Clucking hell! Best keep clear then.

Perhaps the Dynamic aspect is the ability to drop cargo dynamically into a field unintentionally while over flying?
