The two main types of aerial checkpoints are? be prepared to discuss.
Air control point (ACP)
• easily identifiable point. It can be visual or an electronic Navaid. An air control point is used to denote change in direction or anything else for command and control
Contact point
• a contact point is the position where the mission leader makes radio contact with the air control agency
