WorksheetsIFR Law 24 - Communications Failure
Total questions: 6
Worksheet time: 3mins
What is the number one priority following a communications failure?
Changing the transponder to 7600
Turn on landing lights, beacons and strobes
Transmitting in the blind
Maintain terrain clearance
If an aircraft has a communications failure in VMC, what actions should to pilot take?
Continue on the flight planned route at the flight planed altitude
Continue the flight VFR to a suitable aerodrome
Divert to the nearest IFR aerodrome
You are flying IFR and have been cleared a level 2000ft above your flight planned level. If you suffer a communications failure ATC will assume you will:
Descend to and continue the flight at the flight planned level
Continue the flight at the recently cleared level
Fly at the MFA along the route
You will fly at the nominated CFA (Communications Failure Altitude) in your IFR flight plan
You suffer a communications failure while being radar vectored on departure, you should:
Maintain the last assigned vector for 2 minutes then climb to MSA if required and proceed on the flight plan route
Climb to MFA then maintain the last assigned vector for 2 minutes and then proceed on the flight plan route
Climb to MSA if required then make a turn back towards the aerodrome of departure after squawking 7600
Maintain the last assigned vector for two minutes then climb to MSA if required and return to the departure aerodrome as soon as practicable
When suffering a communications failure on arrival the pilot should:
Descend to the minimum initial approach altitude via a standard profile
Maintain flight planned level until overhead the beacon
An aircraft has had a communications failure and has made an approach but the approach has become unstable, can the aircraft go missed approach and if so can the aircraft make another approach?
Yes, No the aircraft must divert to the alternate aerodrome
Yes, Yes as long as the second approach is within 30 minutes of the initial ETA
No when suffering a communications failure an aircraft must make every possible attempt to land
