Miami Center Radar

[Farrell]

While doing a solo flight today....the NOTAM said that Miami center's radar was not working.......what is the immediate procedure when that happens?

Procedural control

(crossing your fingers may help too!)

They should have preferred and supplementary radar coverage - if not then the "Safest ATC system in the world" claim is rubbish!

Enroute centers utilize various radar sites (MOSIAC) so a single radar site outage normally only affects a small area below a certain altitude (normally below 10,000). Traffic that is operating below the effective radar coverage is worked via non radar procedures.
