"Teacherjh" wrote in message ... I'd climb to 5000, then MEAs permitting) descend to 4000. In no case would I stop before 5000. The (explicit) instructions to do so on lost comm may be to get you high enough to receive a different outlet, or to be picked up on a better radar sweep. Who knows... they asked me to do that, I do that. Is this one of those Radar Vectors departures? 5000 feet might be required to allow you to get "on course" via your own navigation in lieu of radar vectors. |

How long do you think you would have to climb to get from 5,000' MSL to 4,000' MSL? g It probably depends in part on your theory of the universe.

The mathematician in me wants to regard a descent as just a negative-rate climb, but the pilot in me balks. --Gary Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |
