But unless the controller clears you beyond that fix (which in this case,
he did not) and you're not following the Radio Failure procedures (which
in this case you are not) then you must hold.


If the controller hasn't cleared me beyond the fix before I reach it I will
query him. When I do so he will either clear me beyond it or issue an EFC.
If he doesn't respond it means I've had a radio failure and I will comply
with FAR 91.185 which tells me not to hold.

So it's impossible that the controller could be too busy to answer you, or
that he got up to get some coffee?
