What data elements go into a PAA entry?

• A. Unit, DTG Start, DTG End
• B. Name, Width, Min Alt
• C. Name, Unit, Downtime
• D. DTG Start, DTG End, Grid

Answer: (A)

A PAA entry records who is assigned and when that assignment starts and ends. The essential data are the unit being assigned and the time window, defined by the start and end Date-Time Groups. The DTG Start and DTG End provide a precise, standardized timing reference so all units are synchronized. Other data like names, dimensions, or downtime pertain to different attributes and aren’t part of the basic PAA entry. Likewise, assigning a grid reference without the unit and a defined time window doesn’t capture the full PAA record. So the complete, correct combination is the unit and the two DTGs that bound the assignment in time.
