When deviating from the route without evidencewithout a valid reason.

Interception of civil aircraft should be avoided and should be undertaken only as a last resort if undertaken the interception should be limited to determining the identity of the aircraft unless it is necessary to return the aircraft to its planned track direct it beyond the boundaries of national airspace guide it away from a prohibited restricted or danger area or instruct it to effect a landing at a designated aerodromea civil aircraft is most likely to be intercepted if it has lost communication with atc or strays into airspace without appropriate diplomatic or other clearance and without contact with the appropriate controlling authority

Question 9-26 : You are cruising in uncontrolled airspace at 2600 ft is this allowed ?

Yes if the competent authority defines the transition altitude as 3000 ft or higher.

Cruising levels for either all or part of a flight are expressed either as flight levels or altitudesin very general terms aircraft flying at low levels use altitude based on the local area pressure or qnh as the altimeter's datum setting this provides elevation above mean sea level and is used primarily to remain clear of the surface but is also used for separation in controlled airspacethe transition altitude is the altitude at which aircraft switch from using atmospheric pressure qnh to a standard pressure setting when transitioning from the terminal area to en route flight in this case if the competent authority defines the transition altitude as 3000 ft or higher then cruising at 2600 ft would be allowed as it falls below the transition altitude if the pilot is flying above the transition altitude she must fly flight levels

Give way to aircraft 'b' and inform atc about the traffic.

This one is quite simple it is obvious that something is wrong here and that the other aircraft potentially has a problem or is perhaps in breach of clearance etc but that does not matter aircraft 'a' must do the same thing anywaythe only safe option here is to give way to aircraft 'b' especially as it is lower on the approach than 'a' and therefore would have right of way clearances notwithstanding and to inform atc it is very much possible that 'b' has lost comms or is in an emergency situation and therefore no longer requires a clearance to land and that standard rules of the air therefore apply and any competent pilot would give way to the aircraft anyway as there is no communication from it so we cannot know its situation or intentionssera3210 c4i when two or more heavier than air aircraft are approaching an aerodrome or an operating site for the purpose of landing aircraft at the higher level shall give way to aircraft at the lower level but the latter shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is in the final stages of an approach to land or to overtake that aircraft nevertheless power driven heavier than air aircraft shall give way to sailplanes
