ICAO convention applies to ...

Overtake

...

Operation in the vicinity of an aerodrome

a) Observe traffic to avoid collision

b) Conform with the pattern

c) All turns to the left, unless otherwise instructed

d) Land and take-off into the wind, unless otherwise necessary

Actions when intercepted (by PIC)

  1. Follow instructions given by the intercepting aircraft
  2. Notify ATS
  3. Attempt to establish communication with intercepting aircraft (Working freq. or 121.5)
  4. If equipped with SSR transponder select 7700, unless otherwise instructed
  5. Select the appropriate emergency funcionality on ADS-B or ADS-C

Intercepting ACFT rocks wings and flashes nav-lights at irregular intervals

Meaning: "You have been intercepted follow me"

Response: Rock wings, flash nav-lights at irregular intervals

Intercepting ACFT breaksway abruptly (climbing turn of 90 degrees, not crossing line of flight)

Meaning: "You may proceed"

Response: Rock the wings

Intercepting ACFT lowers landing gears, steady landing lights and overflies runway in use

Meaning: "Land at this aerodrome"

Response: Lower landing gear, show steady landing lights and land.

Intercepted ACFT raises landing gear and flashes landing lights

Meaning: "Aerodrom designated is inadequate, cannot land here"

Intercepted ACFT switches all available lights on and off regularly

Meaning: "Cannot comply"
