RAT 5 : thanks. I was not aware of a previous discussion on E.D.pity. lots to talk about.
To answer your question about ATC SOPs for ED, well it is exactly like with airlines and air aircraft operators; everyone has its own idea and train its staff accordingly.
Also, the chances for a controller to actually excperience an E.D. in his shift is rather rare. so easily forgotten,.
Some ATS untis/service providers train their staff better than others and even provide emergency chekclists. But not everyone.
Interestingly the military ATC do use emergency check lists , and when the German DFS took over their military they discovered the benefits of controller check lists and introduced them for civil controllers. A very good initiative, but far from being standardised elsewhere unfortunately.
As to ICAO, well it moves slowly ,some men representing some Sates still live in the B707/VC10 era. A bit like here on this forum basically
