Which ICAO document defines interception procedures?

Which ICAO document defines interception procedures?

• A. Annex 2
• B. Annex 11
• C. Annex 3
• D. Doc 4444 PANS-ATM

Answer: (A)

Interception procedures are part of the rules that govern how aircraft fly and respond when an intercept occurs. These procedures are defined in ICAO Annex 2, Rules of the Air, because they establish the general actions expected of both the intercepted aircraft and the intercepting authority, including signals to be used, the required responses, and the steps to resolve the situation safely. While other ICAO documents cover air traffic services (Annex 11) or provide ATS procedures (Doc 4444 PANS-ATM), the primary source for interception actions within the flight rules framework is Annex 2. Annex 3 and meteorology deal with weather services and meteorological data, which do not prescribe interception actions.
