Answer 1

the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable.

Question 2

1816
During an IFR flight in IMC, you enter a holding pattern with an EFC time of 1530. At 1520 you experience complete two-way communications failure. Which procedure should you follow to execute the approach to a landing?

Answer 2

DEPART the holding fix AT the EFC time, and complete the approach. (Shortest answer)

Question 3

1817
Which procedure should you follow if you experience two-way communication failure while holding at a holding fix with an EFC time? (The holding fix is not the same as the approach fix.)

Answer 3

Depart the holding fix at the EFC time.

Shortest answer

Question 4

1818

Answer 4

under VFR, land as soon as practicable, and then advise ATC

VFR under VFR

Question 5

1819
If you encounter two-way radio communications failure in IMC enroute on an IFR flight plan, you should squawk 7600 and

Answer 5

continue to fly along your assigned route, at the last assigned altitude or the MEA, whichever is higher.

IFR: Continue

Question 6

1820
Which procedure should you follow if, during an IFR flight in VFR conditions, you have two-way radio communications failure?

Answer 6

Continue the flight under VFR, land as soon as practicable and advise ATC.

IFR: Continue

Question 7

1821
What altitude and route should be used if you are flying in IMC and have two-way radio communications failure?

Answer 7

Continue on the route specified in your clearance, fly at an altitude that is the highest of last assigned altitude, altitude ATC has informed you to expect, or the MEA.

IMC: Continue

Question 8

1822
(Refer to Figure 87.) While holding at STRUT west of LCH for an ILS approach to RWY 15 at Lake Charles Muni airport, ATC advises you to expect clearance for the approach at 1015. At 1000 you experience two-way radio communications failure. Which procedure should be followed?

Answer 8

Squawk 7600; attempt to contact ATC via the previously assigned frequency. Plan to start your approach at 1015.

STRUT Squawk 76
Contact ATC

3056
You experience two way radio communication failure in IMC from STL to OKC. You should

Answer 9

Continue on the route specified in your clearance, fly at an altitude that is the highest of last assigned altitude, altitude ATC has informed you to expect, or the MEA.

IMC Continue, Highest ALT
