2. Signals used in interception:
1) Signals from an intercepting aircraft and responses from an intercepted aircraft:
Series | Aircraft Interception Signals | Value | Intercepted aircraft responses | Value |
1. |
Day or night - wiggling from wing to wing and blinking of air navigation lights (and landing lights for helicopters) at irregular intervals, being slightly higher in front and, as a rule, to the left of the intercepted aircraft (or to the right if the intercepted aircraft is helicopter), and, after confirming the acceptance of the signal, a slow turn in the horizontal plane, as a rule, to the left (or to the right, in case of interception of the helicopter) to reach the desired course. Note 1.— Meteorological conditions or terrain may require the intercepting aircraft to change its location and lapel direction indicated in series 1. Note 2. | You are intercepted. Follow me. | Day and night - rocking the aircraft and flashing air navigation lights at irregular intervals and following the intercepting aircraft. | Will comply. Wilco |
2. | Day or night - a sharp separation from the intercepted aircraft by turning 90 degrees or more with a climb without crossing the track line of the intercepted aircraft. | Follow your course. | Day or night - wiggle from wing to wing. | Will comply. Wilco |
3. | Day or night - landing gear release (if possible), inclusion of landing lights and flight over the runway, which should be used, or, if the intercepted aircraft is a helicopter, flight over the helicopter landing pad. In the case of helicopters, the intercepting helicopter performs a landing approach with the transition to hover mode near the landing site. | Land at this aerodrome. | Day or night - the landing gear release (if possible), the inclusion of landing lights and following an intercepted aircraft and, if after landing the runway to be used, or a helicopter landing pad, the landing conditions are considered safe, the landing begins. | Will comply. Wilco |
2) Signals from an intercepted aircraft and responses from an intercepting aircraft:
Series | Aircraft Intercepted Signals | Value | Intercepting aircraft responses | Value |
4. | Day or night — landing gear cleaning (if possible) and flashing of landing lights when flying over the runway to be used or a helicopter landing pad at an altitude of more than 300 meters (1000 feet), but not higher than 600 meters (2000 feet) (for helicopters at an altitude of more than 50 meters (170 feet), but not higher than 100 meters (330 feet) above the level of the aerodrome, and the continuation of the flight in a circle above the runway, which should be used, or a helicopter landing pad. If it is not possible to blink, the landing lights blink by any on-board lights. | The airport you specified is unsuitable. | Day or night — if it is advisable for the intercepted aircraft to follow the intercepting aircraft to the alternate aerodrome, the intercepting aircraft removes the landing gear (if possible) and uses Series 1 signals for intercepting aircraft. | Will comply. Wilco, follow me. |
5. | Day or night - the regular on and off of all onboard lights, but in such a way as to distinguish them from flashing lights. | Unable to comply. | Day or Night — Series 2 signals are used for intercepting aircraft. | Roger That |
6. | Day or night - blinking all the side lights at irregular intervals. | In distress. | Day or Night - Series 2 signals are used for intercepting aircraft. | Roger That |
3. Maneuvering when intercepting:
1) In order to avoid creating a danger to an intercepted civil aircraft, the restrictions related to the flight performance of civil aircraft shall be taken into account, as wel as the need to avoid flying in such close proximity to the intercepted aircraft, in which there may be a danger of collision, and the need to avoid crossing the flight path of the aircraft or performing any other maneuver in such a way that turbulence in the wake can be dangerous cially in cases where the intercepted aircraft is classified as a light aircraft.
2) An intercepted aircraft equipped with an airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS) may perceive the intercepting aircraft as a threat of collision and, thus, begin to evade the ACS maneuver in response to a recommendation to resolve the ACAS collision threat. Such a maneuver may be misunderstood by an interceptor in a ship of air as a manifestation of unfriendly intentions. In this regard, it shall be important that pilots of intercepting aircraft equipped with a secondary survey radar (SSR) transponder suppress the transmission of barometric altitude information (in mode C responses or in AC field of mode S answers) within a distance of at least 37 kilometers (20 sea miles) from an intercepted aircraft. This prevents the ACAS from issuing intercepted aircraft recommendations for resolving the threat of collision with respect to the intercepting aircraft, but this ACAS continues to provide advisory information on air traffic.
4. Maneuvering for visual recognition
For visual identification of a civilian aircraft by intercepting aircraft, the following maneuvering method shall be recommended:
Phase I
An intercepting aircraft shall approach the intercepted aircraft from the rear hemisphere. The lead aircraft of the intercepting unit or a single intercepting aircraft, as a rule, should occupy a position on the left side, slightly above and in front of the intercepted aircraft, being within the field of view of the pilot of the intercepted aircraft, and initially at a distance of not closer than 300 meters from the aircraft vessel. Any other aircraft participating in the interception should remain at a sufficient distance from the intercepted aircraft, preferably above and behind this vessel. After establishing the speed and position, the aircraft shall, as necessary, proceed to phase II of the interception rules.
Phase II
The lead intercepting aircraft or a single intercepting aircraft shall be careful to approach the intercepted in the airborne aircraft at the same level, but not coming closer than is absolutely necessary to obtain the required information. The leading aircraft of the intercepting unit or a single intercepting aircraft shall be careful not to disturb the crew or passengers of the intercepted aircraft, constantly bearing in mind that maneuvers that are considered normal for the intercepting aircraft may be considered by passengers and civilian air crews ships as dangerous.
Any other aircraft involved in interception shall remain at a sufficient distance from the intercepted aircraft. After the recognition is completed, the intercepting aircraft shall leave the area of proximity to the intercepted aircraft, as provided for in phase III.
Phase III
The leading aircraft of the intercepting unit or a single intercepting aircraft shall be carefully turned away from the intercepted aircraft in a gentle dive. Any other aircraft involved in interception shall remain at a sufficient distance from the intercepted aircraft and then join their leader.
5. Maneuvering to indicate the direction of flight:
1) if, after performing the maneuvers to identify the aircraft mentioned above in phase I and phase II, there is a need to intervene in the further flight of the intercepted aircraft, the leading aircraft of the intercepting unit or a single intercepting aircraft should, as a rule, take a position to the left of the intercepted aircraft, slightly above and in front of it, in order to allow the latter's commander to see the visual signals given;
2) it is necessary that the commander of the intercepting aircraft makes sure that the commander of the intercepted aircraft is aware of the interception and confirms the signals given. If repeated attempts to attract the attention of the commander of an intercepted aircraft by using series 1 signals are unsuccessful, other methods of signaling for this purpose can be used, including, as a last resort, the visual effect produced by afterburner, provided that it does not there is no danger to the intercepted aircraft;
3) it is assumed that meteorological conditions or terrain may in some cases lead to the necessity of a leading aircraft occupying an intercepting unit or a single intercepting aircraft from a position on the right side, slightly higher and ahead of the intercepted aircraft. In this case, the commander of the intercepting aircraft must take all necessary measures to ensure that his aircraft is clearly visible at any time to the commander of the intercepted aircraft.
