9G:
Why is it ATC prefers one to follow published MA for comm failure opposite to LT 1500 ft waiting for the light beam?
Because you may be IMC during the comm failure and unable to fly a visual at 1500' which means it is the simplest option as a catch all for all cases.
Wouldn't it be great if we could just snot in down the deadside at 500' waggling wings and pumping the throttle, breaking downwind assuming the callsign "speechless 1 is this a practice?"
