Anybody Actually been Intercepted?
Hi chaps the Olympic airspace thread started a question in my head.
How and with what would they intercept you in the UK? has this happened to anybody - anywhere.
I once flew in a mates SR20 to Dueaville (Denham Via Lydd) whilst bimblimg along the French coast we got a very sharp course alteration by a very pissed off French controller apparently we were about to bust restricted airspace above a power plant, (not sure if its nuclear) this i might add was not on the Avydyne !!!
Upon landing at deauville we had a chat about this with a two brit pilots on the apron and they we not surprised about this and asked if we had the CAA Saftey leaflet for interceptions? (incidentally has a French mirage on the cover) we'd never seen it! He produced said leaflet from flight bag and sad it was mandatory to carry it???
1000's of questions around this, how they proposed to intercept a plane at 140 kts, would they use force.... etc...
there must be some military pilots out there that trained for this... let us know!!
<luckily now i live in NZ this of course will not apply>
