In the event of SQUAWKING 7600 what is appended to the transmission?
Blind Transmission is added to the normal transmission with recepiant information.
When flying VMC and you lose coms what are the best procedures?
- Continue VMC
- Land at nearest suitable aerodrom; keep a watch for visual signals from ATC
- Report arrival to ATC as quickly as possible
If you experience a Coms failure while in IFR with no Radar Service what is the correct course of action?
- Maintain last assigned speed, level or minimum altitdue if higher for a period of 20 min
- Following passing a compulsory reporting point
- adjust flight level and pseed in accordance with filed flight plan
What is the process when Coms failure in IFR conditions and while in radar view?
- Maintain last assigned speed and level or min safe alt for 7 min (starts from when 7600 is set)
- When being vectored rejoin flight planned route
- Follow the flight plan to destination
- Enter the hold at the designated navigation aid.
- Commence the approach as close as possible
- Complete the normal instrument approach
- if possible land within 30 min of the latest EAT or flight Plan ETA which ever is later.
