T- (Training) Scramble

An T- (Training) Scramble is a training exercise conducted to test and enhance the readiness of pilots, ground crews, and Military Air traffic Control personell. Although it simulates real alarm conditions, it does not involve an actual threat. These training missions are essential for ensuring that all operational procedures are executed flawlessly and that the coordination between aircrews, technical teams, and air traffic control functions seamlessly under pressure.

Please note: T- Scrambles are only permitted on AVON if all Users are part of an VSO and agree to the Procedure.

Example:

STATION	T SCRAMBLE
HG01	HG01 Rolling Shelter 20
ETNT_TWR	HG01 Tower Roger.
HG01	Ready to copy scramble instruction
ETNT_TWR	HG01 fly T-Scramble 2 Ship into Area 201E Vector 060 Angel 8 Buster climb Station is Loneship TED 400 backup 401 authenticate time 1812 TM
HG01	readback
HG01	HG01 Ready to copy clearence.
ETNT_TWR	Continue first for lineup Runway 25 and wait winds 210 degrees 15 knots
HG01	HG01 flight continue first for lineup Runway 25 and wait.
ETNT_TWR	Correct and HG01 flight is cleared back to Wittmund via NT125 departure right turn heading 060 Squawk 2656 prepare Bremen Channel 17 readback.
HG01	readback
ETNT_TWR	Readback correct standby for the Time.
HG01	01 Copies please note ready for departure
ETNT_TWR	Wilco
ETNT_TWR	HG01 your flight level is 70
HG01	HG01 Copy initial climb 70
ETNT_TWR	Correct wind 200 degrees 20 knots left 20 Runway 25 cleared for Takeoff contact Bremen Channel 17
HG01	Cleared Takeoff 25 push 17.

As already noted this is only an example.
The Formation (In this case HG01) was cleared first for Lineup because the Tower Controller has to call the Center controller (In an T-Scramble) to request the IFR Clearence for the Formation and with that also the Initial Altitude which is often given by the Center a bit after the initial IFR Clearence. Now the controller has to call the Center to request an "Departure Release" after the Tower got that clearence he can clear the Flight for takeoff.
