1.13.1 General

The following procedures are intended for use by aircraft when unlawful interference occurs and the aircraft is unable to notify an ATS unit of this fact.

1.13.2 Procedures

1 Unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise, the pilot-in-command should attempt to continue flying on the assigned track and at the assigned cruising level at least until notification to an ATS unit is possible or the aircraft is within radar coverage.

2 When an aircraft subjected to an act of unlawful interference must depart from its assigned track or its assigned cruising level without being able to make radiotelephony contact with ATS, the pilot-in-command should, whenever possible:

a) attempt to broadcast warnings on the VHF emergency frequency and other

appropriate frequencies, unless considerations aboard the aircraft dictate

otherwise. Other equipment such as on-board transponders, data links, etc. should

also be used when it is advantageous to do so and circumstances permit; and

b) proceed in accordance with applicable special procedures for in-flight

contingencies, where such procedures have been established and promulgated in

ICAO Doc 7030 -Regional Supplementary Procedures; or

c) if no applicable regional procedures have been established, proceed at a level

which differs from the cruising levels normally used for IFR flight in the area by

300 m (1 000 ft) if above FL 290 or by 150 m (500 ft) if below FL 290.

1.13.3 Sabotage abd Bomb Treats

To ensure that the services and agencies with responsibilities during unlawful interference work as a team in the interests of passengers, crew, and the aircraft, it should be borne in mind that those in charge must act as circumstances warrant.

For the safety of passengers and crew, it is very important that everyone involved remain calm and closely follow the instructions of the AVSEC Manager or alternate. The entire situation should be kept as secret as possible so as not to attract curiosity-seekers who may obstruct access roads. A report should be submitted to the ATC Unit manager.

Priority is given to the movement of the aircraft involved and , if possible, recommend to the pilot to take his aircraft to the aerodrome isolation to which access shall be prohibited .

1.13.4 Hijacking

In the case of hijacking, the pilot will communicate to air traffic control that his aircraft is being hijacked, a pilot under pressure should squawk 7500 or vocally, by radio communication transmitting "(Aircraft call sign); Transponder seven five zero zero."

Priority is given to the aircraft movement to the aircraft involved and, if possible, recommend to the pilot to take his aircraft to the aerodrome isolation area.
