I’m somewhat new to listening to the Guard Dog CAP. Trying to make sense of all the numbers I’m hearing.

Altitude is generally easy to understand (ascend, descend, maintain, established) at “two three zero” is 23,000ft.

Fuel gets mentioned a lot, I assume “seventeen point oh” is 17,000 pounds of fuel remaining.

My main questions are:

Is “Bullseye” Camp David?

When they say for example “Noble1 is bullseye [numbers]” are these polar coordinates?

So “Noble1 bullseye two three five nineteen” is he saying he is currently 19 miles and 235 degrees (southwest) from Camp David? The exact opposite, camp David is 235 degrees from him (he is 19 miles to the north east of camp David) Or something else?


Thanks!

Fuel is correct and I think your first choice 19 miles Southwest and 235 degrees is direction of Bullseye the Camp.

Sometimes have heard them call out a "tanker bullseye" on an incoming tanker with miles and degrees so
they can help find it.

They were on 126.1 from about Rockville all the way to landing assured just after 2100. Have they ever used that freq for Camp David arrivals?
Nice catch!

Ron's Mid-Atlantic freqs lists 126.1 as:
126.100 Potomac TRACON/Camp David

in RR listed as Potomac Consolidated TRACON Approach/Departure:
