The flight leader briefs his squadron's pilots in the ready room just before their missions. In these briefings he passes on intelligence about their targets and the enemy's air defenses. He also describes what bombs, missiles, or rockets their planes will carry, where the aircraft will rendezvous after their launch from the carrier, routes to the target, call signs and radio frequencies, individual mission responsibilities, and emergency procedures. In addition, he determines the minimum fuel or "Bingo" requirement - the fuel level at which an aircraft will have to receive aerial refueling or divert to a landing field ashore.
