This will enable ATS to give priority to the aircraft and alert organisations likely to be involved.

1.2.1 The following procedures should be followed:

  • (a) switch transponder to code 7500 MODE A;
  • (b) advise ATS of details in plain language if possible;
  • (c) if use of radio is restricted, insert the phrase “CHANNEL SEVEN FIVE ZERO ZERO” into any RTF transmission after the aircraft’s callsign, if it is safe and practicable to do so.
