Delay when overhead destination
A
- INFO - ask reason for delay and expected approach time

Lose radio contact
A
- Try alternative/previous frequency and 121.5
- If no success, squawk 7600, follow local radio failure procedures

Engine fire on ILS approach, RVR deteriorating
A

- If flight time > 4 hours, at least 2 runways and good weather (2000ft, 5km) can continue
8
Q
Cabin crew in conversation with passenger, getting upset
