And the ROE is?

vunzke,

I agree that I would like to know if I have been ordered to be escorted. I would also appreciate the status of the intercept (reverse BRA would be nice). Normally, in most areas, I don't think they could get very close without my knowing it...TCAS and all. In less peaceful areas of the world, a no squawk, no lights intercept and ID could happen and be over with, and I'd never know it.

Such intercepts are typically ordered from a command center (not at the whim of a bored aviator). What could I do if I was advised that a country's national defense command center has decided I should be intercepted? I can follow the outlined procedures.

No doubt, though. Communication of the event, as it unfolds, would be nice for all involved
