Which ICAO Annex outlines interception procedures?

Which ICAO Annex outlines interception procedures?

• A. Annex 2
• B. Annex 6
• C. Annex 11
• D. Annex 9

Answer: (A)

Interception procedures are standardized under the Rules of the Air, which set how aircraft should operate and respond in special situations. Annex 2 provides the official signals and required actions for when an aircraft is intercepted, detailing how intercepting authorities communicate and what the intercepted aircraft must do to stay safe and avoid misunderstandings. This makes Annex 2 the go-to reference for interception procedures. The other annexes cover different areas—Air Traffic Services, general operation of aircraft, and facilitation—without focusing specifically on the interception procedures in the same standardized way.
