final exam
Question: If
I am intercepted by a law enforcement or military aircraft, how do I
know whether they want me to follow them or proceed on course to my
destination?
Answer: If
you have been intercepted and the pilots of the intercepting aircraft
want you to follow them they will typically make a slow level turn,
normally to the left, onto the desired heading. The intercepting
aircraft will also normally be rocking its wings slightly above your
flight path, ahead of you, and to the left. If, on the other hand, you
are intercepted and after identifying you the intercepting aircraft
decides you can proceed on your way, it will normally perform an abrupt
break-away maneuver consisting of a climbing 90-degree-or-more turn to
the left without crossing your flight path. Click here for AOPA’s In-Flight Intercept Procedures Checklist.
