According to declassified 2003 information, NATO uses these meanings:
Flight Operations
AT DIP: I am ready to operate fixed-wing aircraft when wind conditions are suitable.
DIPPED after being close up: My flight operations have been delayed temporarily (about 10 minutes).
CLOSE UP: I am operating fixed-wing aircraft.
HAULED DOWN: I have completed operating fixed-wing aircraft.
NOTE: When operating both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters concurrently, Flag H need not be used.
