Unauthorized Use of AERODROME CONTROL TOWER Frequency

Share
Instances of false and deceptive transmissions on AERODROME CONTROL TOWER frequencies which may impair the safety of aircraft can occasionally occur. In the event of such occurrences, AERODROME CONTROL TOWER concerned should:
a) correct any false or deceptive instructions or clearances which have been transmitted;
b) advise all aircraft on the affected frequency(ies) that false and deceptive instructions or clearances are being transmitted;
c) instruct all aircraft on the affected frequency(ies) to verify instructions and clearances before taking action to comply;
d) if practical, instruct aircraft to change to another frequency; and
e) if possible, advise all aircraft affected when the false and deceptive instructions or clearances are no longer being transmitted.
Flight crews shall challenge or verify with AERODROME CONTROL TOWER any instruction or clearance issued to them which they suspect may be false or deceptive.

When the transmission of false or deceptive instructions and clearances is detected, the appropriate authority shall take all necessary action to have the transmitter located and the transmission terminated.
