- there is a transponder code for comm failure
Sure it does thanks - is this what they mean by squawking ?

I can understand the green light approach as 411a points out, but was thinking what if you were not in final glide path and all transmission lost.

There was an incident (not going into reasons right now another thread is already open) whereby the flight got intercepted after 1:40 mins out of contact. Regardless of that incident I was wondering if there was a standard training on what to do - i.e. identify all was okay and your intentions.

Sorry again if this does not be the forum - perhaps I should give a hypothetical scenario - what if you were stacking above bovingdon for heathrow and were 5th in when all communications via normal channels were lost - what do you do ?

p.s. I only mentioned bovingdon as I am born and bread from there
