After given an Attack Aviation Call for Fire, it is clearance to fire unless _________, or __________?

• A. Danger close
• B. At my command
• C. Danger close and At my command
• D. No restrictions

Answer: (C)

When an Attack Aviation Call for Fire is issued, the aircraft have clearance to engage, but safety restrictions may apply. “Danger close” signals that friendly forces are within a close or dangerous distance, so firing isn’t automatic—you need explicit permission or a change in control to proceed. “At my command” means the observer wants to hold fire and only release it when they say so. So clearance to fire exists only if neither danger close conditions are active nor the observer is withholding fire until their command is given. That’s why the best answer combines both restrictions. The other options don’t capture both safety controls: danger close alone doesn’t cover observer control, and “at my command” alone doesn’t address proximity risk.
