If equipped with a transponder, squawk 7700, unless otherwise instructed by ATC. If any instructions received by radio from any sources conflict with those given by the intercepting aircraft by visual or radio signals, request clarification while continuing to comply with the instructions given by the intercepting aircraft. Intercepting aircraft signal Meaning Intercepted aircraft response Meaning Rocks wings. After acknowledgement initiates a slow level turn, normally to the left, onto the desired heading. (At night, the pilot will also flash the navigational lights at irregular intervals.) You have been intercepted. Follow me. Rocks wings and follows. (At night, the pilot will also flash the navigational lights at irregular intervals.) I understand and will comply. Performs an abrupt breakaway maneuver consisting of a climbing 90 degree turn, or more, without crossing the intercepted aircraft's flight path. You are released & may proceed. Rocks wings. I understand and will comply. Circles airport, lowers landing gear, and overflies runway in the direction of landing. (At night, the pilot will also put the landing lights on.) Land at this airport. Lowers landing gear, follows the intercepting aircraft and lands if the runway is considered safe. I understand and will comply. (At night, the pilot will also put the landing lights on.) Intercepted aircraft signal Meaning Intercepting aircraft response Meaning Raises landing gear while flying over runway between 1,000' and 2,000', and continues to circle the airport. (At night, the pilot of the intercepted aircraft will also flash landing lights while passing over the runway.) This airport is inadequate. If the intercepted aircraft is requested to go to an alternate airport, the intercepting aircraft raises its landing gear and uses the intercept procedures (listed above). To release the intercepted aircraft, the intercepting aircraft will perform the breakaway maneuver listed above. Understood, follow me. Understood, you may proceed.
