Radio failure procedure
Hi everyone just want some opinions on what you think would be the best option in this situation:
If flying VFR into a controlled airport (Class C or C) for a touch and go landing and when inbound and before you get clearance to land, your radio fails. If all attempts to contact ATC fail, the ERSA states that you should continue tracking to the destination in accordance with the flight plan and commence a descent in accordance with standard operating procedures (EMERG-3 (1.5.4.1). But then it states that you should descend to the initial approach altitude and carry out the approach to the prescribed circling minima.
My question is that this relates to IFR traffic, and I cannot find anything that relates to landing procedures for the VFR. In this situation in a VFR aircraft, would the best course of action to be to fly to the airport and descend in accordance with SOP's maneouver the aircraft for a landing on the preferred runway and look for light signals from the tower and land (and if you do land should you continue with the touch and go or should you make it a full stop to inspect the radio) OR should you overfly the airfield and continue onto the next location
Thanks,
Also one other quick question does anyone know where the permissible unservicability schedule for each aircraft is located - is it the flight manual?
