Special Operations Event: For member nations of NATO that do not have the necessary air capabilities, there are agreements to ensure a single standard of security across European NATO airspace. As its three Baltic members Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia don’t have the required aircraft assets to contribute to NATO Air Policing over their own territories, Alliance members provide the necessary capabilities for them. Fighter aircraft assigned to NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission are often launched (QRA) to visually identify aircraft on approach or fly near NATO airspace without using transponders, communicating with Air Traffic Control or having filed a flight plan.
Make sure to read your relevant briefing before the event! This will help to ensure that all participants are able to enjoy the event.
