Actually the best answer MIGHT be, what you pre-arranged with your ground
crew. Your ground crew should know which airports or landing sites to look
for you at if contact is lost, and don't land anywhere else.

i.e.: If we loose contact, check these airports as you head towards my
destination, I will be at one of them or at the destination. If you are
doing an out and return, and you out run your crew, then you should be able
to get back in contact with them on your return. If you have a radio failure
on either air or ground, then I would expect them to check every
predetermined landing site to the turn around point, recheck them on the way
back, and hopefully locate you back at the starting airport.

If they had gone all the way to the turn around and back, and did not find
you at any location, then there should be either a phone call waiting for
them when they return to the starting airport (out and return flight),
telling them where you are, or they should be directed to start going back
to check each pre determined landing area.

If you are any where else, shame on you.

I disagree with the statement from another poster that it is not part of the
PTS. Cross country planning is part of the PTS and ground crew communication
is part of cross country planning.

Does anybody know the text book answer to the "Procedure for Lost Radio
Communication" between the glider and ground crew during a cross
country flight? What answer would you give if asked during a checkride?
Thanks
