In The Bourne Legacy (2012), Byer decides to eliminate all Outcome assets. He orders new meds distributed to the agents. He learns that both Numbers Three and Five are at the same location, and dispatches a U-CAV drone aircraft to kill both agents but only Number 5 evade the attack. Below is the transcript of controller of U-CAV drone aircraft on a radio scanner:

Spec: Requesting fuel graph, say your state.

PILOT: State two-plus-SO to splash.

Spec: Copy, Solo. Fuel to bingo is green.

What does "two-plus-SO to splash" mean?



Best Answer

In pilot jargon (possibly military only?) 'state' refers to asking for their fuel status. It is usually responded in terms of number of hours plus minutes until 'splash', i.e. when they will run out of fuel.

So:

State one plus two zero to splash

Means one hour twenty minutes of fuel remaining.

According to this copy of the script the pilot is actually saying

State two-plus-30 to splash

The 'fuel to bingo is green' indicates that they have enough fuel for a safe return to base.
