o The pilot of an aircraft losing two-way communications must set the transponder to code 7600.

o A radar controller observing a 7600 code shall request the pilot to ‘squawk IDENT’ (which means
to activate the SPI function).
o Aircraft will normally be vectored on routes along which the pilot can monitor navigation.

o ATC are not permitted to vector special VFR flights, unless warranted by an emergency.

o When an aircraft is given a vector which will take it off an established route, the pilot will be
advised of the reason for the vector, unless it is self-evident.
o When an aircraft reports unreliable directional instruments, the pilot will be asked, before being
issued with maneuvering instructions, to make all turns at an agreed rate and to carry out the
instructions immediately on receipt.

o When aircraft are being vectored, the controller will assign altitudes which allow for terrain
clearance. However, in VMC by day, an aircraft may be permitted to arrange its own terrain
clearance. In such instances the aircraft will be instructed to:
o [Turn left (or right) heading (heading)] [Climb (or descend) to (level) visual.
