EXTEND

Meaning:

EXTEND or EXTENDING call indicates a short-term maneuver to gain energy, distance, or separation with the intent of reengaging.

Example:

1)
- GCI: "BADGER, GCI. EXTEND, fly heading 180 to increase separation from the threat. Maintain current altitude. Advise when complete."

- BADGER: "GCI, BADGER. Copy that. Executing EXTENDING maneuver, flying heading 180 to increase separation. Will advise upon completion."

2)
- BADGER: "GCI, BADGER. EXTENDING West to gain altitude and reengage."

- GCI: "BADGER, GCI. Copy. Update when reengaging."

In both examples, BADGER and GCI communicate the intent to EXTEND away from a threat in order to reengage for a more advantageous position or altitude. Parties acknowledge the instructions and confirm that they are executing the EXTEND maneuver by flying the specified heading to increase their separation and altitude.
