COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AIRCRAFT AND SHIPS.

Mariners are hereby advised that the following procedure, recommended by the International Commission for Aerial Navigation, for establishing communication between aircraft and ships in circumstances not already envisaged in the International Code of Signals, has been provisionally adopted in New Zealand.

1. An aircraft wishing to attract the attention of a ship, when unable to establish communication by radio-electric or daylight signalling apparatus, should fly low round the ship.

2. In case of urgency, it should, in addition, if it has the means of doing so, fire a succession of green pyrotechnical lights or make a succession of green flashes.

3. An aircraft wishing to call the ship to the assistance of another ship or aircraft in distress should, after having flown round the ship as provided for in paragraph 1, proceed in the direction of the aircraft or ship in distress.

4. Civil aircraft should avoid flying low round ships, except when they have a message to pass or some specific duty to perform.

Masters are requested to acknowledge receipt of the above signals by sending a succession of “T’s” in the code or, by day, hoisting the answering pendant.
