Radio Failure Procedures (BA at GVA)
Any of you BA crews out there able to answer this one?
I am currently undergoing emergency refresher training and the question of radio failure procedures to be followed by non terminal RNAV approved flights has been greatly discussed - to no avail.
Can anyone clear this up? e.g. a BRNAV equipped but non terminal RNAV approved LSGG arrival on Lusar6R arrival with radio failure before lets say LIRKO. What radio failure procedure do you follow? Hold at DINIG followed by the RNAV transition? Hold at GVA followed by VOR/DME/ILS? I and quite a few colleagues would be very interested to know.
Many thanks in advance,

Don't have a chart handy but I seem to remember that if you can't fly the RNAV approach you go to the GVA VOR to change to a conventional nav arrival? In the event of radio fail I'd do whatever the chart savs, but would probably make the approach using conventional VOR/DME/ILS from GVA. In the mean time I'll have my mobile on trying to phone that number in the book for radio failure. Mind you, you'll probably get 20 different answers now!
