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
