Radio Failure Procedures
As a pilot I am curious as to your views on the current comms failure procedures. Do you think they are antiquated or adequate. Do you think that they are understood by pilots and controllers alike.
I think it is a potential for mayhem if the failure comes at a very bad time.
Gettting out of the U.K. seems fairly reasonable on comms failure from a pilot point of view (although it could cause a headache for ATC in London), but what about comming into uk, getting vectored, sequenced turned and then radio failure occurs. Where do you go then in this pea souper that is the south of England, with your minimum fuel.
I think that the comms failure need a rethink ,given the large number of aircraft now operating in this small airspace.
