I agree with you Jose, but what is the emergency? Loss of a radio in IMC
when there's a procedure to get you on the ground?


Loss of radio IMC at the beginning of a four hour IFR flight from just
south of DC to Islip on Long Island, which would take me NORDO through
or around the ADIZ, the DC Class B, the Philadelphia class B, and the NY
class B, when there's good weather to the southwest of me. I don't know
why the radio failed, I'm cleared to 5000 (tops at 5500), and I don't
know what else might be on the way to transistor heaven.

So, do you turn right and climb another thousand feet, or do you drone
into the wasp nests ahead on a clearance that is almost always changed
six or seven times enroute?

Sometimes is's safe, sometimes it's not. If the FAA lawyers were
aboard, what would they want me to do?

Jose
