IFR Lost Communications Procedures - AeroGuard Flight Training Center

Good explanation, but I think more scenario based training regarding the clearance limit could be implemented in this to make it easier to understand. For example, when are you cleared to an airport vs cleared to a fix? Clearance limit in the CRAFT clearance is the airport but when ATC tells you direct to an IAF, then your clearance limit is the IAF instead of the airport. Am i correct in this?

Great explanation. Now go get a drink of water. 😂

I don’t believe 185 says you wait till your expected altitude time, it just says whichever is highest which to me would mean if the expected is the highest, you would immediately begin to climb once experiencing lost comms

Hi Devin. In AIM 6-4-1(c)(3)(b) there is also a note that states; The intent of the rule is that a pilot who has experienced two‐way radio failure should select the appropriate altitude for the particular route segment being flown and make the necessary altitude adjustments for subsequent route segments. If the pilot received an “expect further clearance” containing a higher altitude to expect at a specified time or fix, maintain the highest of the following altitudes until that time/fix: (1)  the last assigned altitude; or (2) the minimum altitude/flight level for IFR operations. Upon reaching the time/fix specified, the pilot should commence climbing to the altitude advised to expect. If the radio failure occurs after the time/fix specified, the altitude to be expected is not applicable and the pilot should maintain an altitude consistent with 1 or 2 above. If the pilot receives an “expect further clearance” containing a lower altitude, the pilot should maintain the highest of 1 or 2 above until that time/fix specified in subparagraph (c) Leave clearance limit, below. This note, while not specifically a regulation, is the FAA’s way of providing guidance on the intention of such regulations.

@@flyaeroguard I’m glad you got back to me thanks! Good to know, looks like you’ve made me a better pilot today!
