Maximum duration between radar instructions?
In my old Air Force Days, while being instructed for GCA approach , if we could not hear any instruction longer than 1 min break at downwind and 5 seconds break at final, it was assumed that a commmunication failure occured and that was a reason for Go around.
Of course I have tried to find out the answer to the following question in my library but the result is nil. Now I am expecting the answer from you wise guys.
The question is:
While being radar vectored at low altitude for an approcah, how long I should wait without a vectoring instruction before assuming a communication failure occured? So I can decide what to do next; a Go Around or flying the published Communication Failure procedure.
Thank you in advance
