Emergency Procedures/Lost Comms Flashcards
1
Q
What is the purpose of lost comms procedures?
A
To remain as predictable as possible to ATC
2
Q
What altitude should you fly if you’ve lost communication with tower?
A
Flight the highest of “MEA”
- MEA
- Expected altitude
- Last assigned altitude by ATC
3
Q
What route should you fly if you lose comms with tower?
A
“AVE-F” (select the course in this order)
- Assigned route
- Vectored
- Expected
- Filed route
4
Q
How does ice cause roll upsets?
A
- Ice accumulates forward of the ailerons particularly in SLD conditions.
- During slow speeds associated with approach and landing is most common to have this anomally
5
Q
How can pilots remedy roll upsets?
A
- Reduce AOA by increasing airspeed or extending wing flaps to the first setting if at or below VFE.
- If in a turn, wings should be rolled level
- Set appropriate power and monitor the airspeed and AOA
- If flaps are extended do not retract them unless it can be determined that the upper surface of the airfoil is clear of ice. Retracting flaps will increase the AOA at a given airspeed
