NORAD MissionThe NORAD Agreement

• “…the primary missions of NORAD… aerospace warning for North America; and aerospace control for North America.

• … [to] include the capability to detect, identify, monitor, and if necessary, take appropriate actions (ranging from visual identification to destruction) against manned or unmanned air-breathing vehicles approaching North America.”

• NORAD CONR sensors/fighters postured “outward” against airborne threats … no monitoring of interior flights … IAW US law and mission direction

• No immediate threats apparent to CONUS

• Airline hijackings were a law enforcement issue … the responsibility of FAA

• DoD assistance to FAA (through NORAD) required SECDEF approval (CJCSI 3610.01)

How can you help?Pilot Compliance CFR 99

1. File and activate flight plan - IAW CFR 99.112. Ensure transponder is operational - IAW CFR 99.123. Ensure two-way radio is functioning - IAW CFR 99.94. Provide position report – IAW CFR 99.19

(a) Report to aeronautical facility (US) before ADIZ penetration(b) No appropriate reporting point – report at least 15 minutes

before ADIZ penetration(c) Departure airport too close to ADIZ to comply with para

(a/b) – report immediately after takeoff – (*** obtain a code immediately prior to takeoff)

NOTE: -- Contact Miami flt service via freq at Bimini, Freeport, and Andros, or obtain flight following from Miami Center. -- Remain on freq until you have an assigned code.



- Unknown Rider Calls on GUARD (UHF 243.0 & VHF 121.5)- “Unknown Rider, Unknown Rider, (Position ref NAVID) with amplifying information (Heading, Alt, Speed, M3)” if able

- Is this me?- If a possibility that it’s you – answer the radio call (authenticate is N/A) - If it’s not you – Oakgrove will let you know- By identifying yourself you may prevent a scramble

- If it is you expect the following questions- Who you are – point of origin, destination, where filed, to be followed with course of action if any at all

- Is this me? - The Big “OOOPs”!

- If it is you, expect the following questions (VHF Guard/ATC)- Who you are – point of origin, destination, where filed, to be followed with course of action if any at all

- If intercepted- Fighter (F-16 only) may attempt to establish contact via radio on 121.5- Contact appropriate ATC facility immediately- Watch for ICAO visual signals, Annex 2, Rules of the Air- Immediate compliance with fighter aircraft instructions is mandatory

ReviewThings to Remember

- NORAD mission

- ADIZ Operations- Obtain a discrete transponder code from ATC- Position report 15 minutes prior to entering the ADIZ

- Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs)- Always check your NOTAMS and websites- Use flight following if VFR

- Know Interception Procedures / Monitor 121.5- AOPA quick reference guide

- Disaster Relief Operations / Stay Clear, unless…

- Thank You for following the procedures
