Which HLZ call indicates no enemy activity observed above the AATFC threshold for tactical risk on the HLZ?

Which HLZ call indicates no enemy activity observed above the AATFC threshold for tactical risk on the HLZ?

• A. Cold, or ICE
• B. Hot, or CHERRY
• C. Warm, or YELLOW
• D. Green, or GREEN

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how HLZ threat calls communicate what’s observed relative to the AATFC threshold for tactical risk. When nothing above that threshold is seen, the appropriate call is cold, also known as ICE. This signals that there is no enemy activity above the threshold at the HLZ, so aircrews can proceed with minimal concern for tactical risk at that level. Hot, or CHERRY, would indicate enemy activity above the threshold, prompting protective actions. Warm, or YELLOW, suggests a higher or developing risk, while Green conveys a different status and does not represent no activity above the threshold. So cold/ICE is the best answer because it directly means no adversary activity observed above the defined risk level.
