ENR 1.13 UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE

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.

2 Procedures

2.1 The pilot of an aircraft in flight which is subjected to unlawful interference shall endeavour to set his transponder to Code 7500.
2.2 When a pilot has selected Mode A and Code 7500 and is subsequently requested to confirm his code by ATC, the pilot shall either confirm this or not reply at all. The absence of a reply from the pilot will be taken by ATC as an indication that the use of Code 7500 is not due to an inadvertent false code selection.
2.3 If an aircraft is subjected to unlawful interference, the pilot-in-command shall attempt to land as soon as practicable at the nearest suitable aerodrome or at a dedicated aerodrome assigned by the appropriate authority unless consideration aboard the aircraft dictate otherwise.
