Holding Pattern Question
If you lose either TX or RX, then you don't have two-way communications. Therefore you have two-way radio communications failure and should operate according to 91.185. If you lose just transmitter or just receiver you can still communicate one-way. Two-way radio communications failure means loss of both transmitter and receiver. This argument reminds me of the debate of which is the inner or outer knob on our GPSs. Kobra |

"Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... If the hold isn't issued and things don't go as expected and comm is lost, then you have an airplane coming in the airspace unwanted, but at a known and predictable time since you are tracking it on radar. Not issuing the hold was not part of any scenario. It was exactly the scenario YOU posted and I replied to. Nice of you to trim the posts so as to lose the context. As a reminder, here is what you posted on 9/24/2007 at 9:22 PM: "Well, if things don't go as expected, what do you think can cause the greater problem, not issuing the EFC, or not issuing the hold? " What part of "or not issuing the hold?" didn't you understand when you wrote it? |

... "Mark Hansen" wrote in message ... Say What? ;-) If it's just your transmitter that has failed you have not experienced a two-way radio communications failure. Better the second time? If you lose either TX or RX, then you don't have two-way communications. Therefore you have two-way radio communications failure and should operate according to 91.185. If you lose just transmitter or just receiver you can still communicate one-way. Two-way radio communications failure means loss of both transmitter and receiver. Steve, quit being so argumentative and think for a change. Two-way communication means the radio (hence operator) can send (1 way) and receive (1 way). If you lose the transmitter or the receiver you are no longer in two-way communication, although you may in fact still be in one-way communication. How much simpler can that be? -- Jim Carter Rogers, Arkansas |

If you still have a transponder and a receiver you still have two-way. Or perhaps a transponder and VOR voice. |

"Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... If you really lose comm, waiting until your ETA is the correct procedure. Why? Because you own the block of airspace assigned to you. Someone else owns the block of airspace ahead of and behind you. You wait until your EFC time so that you don't blunder into the guy ahead in IFR conditions. Rip |

"Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... Why not? Waiting for the ETA ties up airspace and delays other aircraft. ATC won't clear anyone into your block of airspace until after your EFC time to prevent two aircraft in IMC from using the same space. Rip |

Just get on the ground and relieve ATC of their misery. DGB |

That's ridiculous. "Bugsmasher 34 Romeo, if you read, squawk 4221" Yes, you could also use smoke signals, rock your wings, etc. - However, if you think that losing your transmitter during an IFR flight is not considered a "two way radio communications failure" as used in 91.185 you're fooling yourself. |
