Lost Comms
Hi all
Just a quick question! I've been looking at the General lost Comms procedures in the Jep Text Manual and its somewhat hazy!
Lets say I'm at FL380 and ready to start my descent and I lose comms with ATC. ( Obviously I would try on 121.50, Acars, etc, but say no joy). Would it be correct to squawk 7600, maintain FL380 and speed and for 7 mins, thereafter follow the descent profile of the STAR? After say you pass the last constraint on the STAR, do you maintain this level to the IAF and then descend in the hold to its min level and then complete the approach or do you carry on descending on the STAR to arrive at the IAF at the min level? (Assume no non standard procedures for this aerodrome, airspace)
Many thanks
