ICAO Radio Failure Procedures
Have you guys seen this recent change?
Hope it makes more sense to you than it did to me.
I know the chances of a radio failure is very remote any more, but, say you are on departure (IMC forever, 220K/4,000') and no comm..
What would you do?
Visual Meteorological Conditions: Same as domestic operations.
Instrument Meteorological Conditions - Nonradar Environment:
If failure occurs in IMC and the guidance for VMC cannot be complied with, continue the flight as follows.
• Maintain the last assigned speed and flight level, or minimum flight altitude, if higher, for a period of 60 minutes following a failed position report over a compulsory reporting point.
• After 60 minutes, adjust flight level and speed in accordance with the filed flight plan.
