Default Re: Lost Comms Instrument Approach Question

Exactly what I was thinking, DE. As soon as ATC sees your 7600 squawk they will be moving other aircraft out of your way. Get yourself on the ground safely and promptly.

Exactly 270/DE. Why play hopscotch in IMC when the last thing the controller told you was "expect the ILS." So fly the ILS it's what everyone was expecting. You're lost comms and ATC will clear (or should) everyone out. The path of least resistance. It's my motto.

As I was typing a long response to this, I realized that there are so many factors that can determine the best course of action that it's almost too silly to debate.

And even the AIM admits this in 6-4-1 when they say, "It is virtually impossible to provide regulations and procedures applicable to all possible situations associated with two-way radio communications failure"

What kind of nav equipment do you avilable to you? What are the weather conditions? Are you on fire? etc., etc.

Fun exercise though!
