IFR radio failure

0 viewsOct 1, 2026

When the radio fails under IFR, you fly a fixed procedure and ATC protects the airspace around it. You try every way to get through, transmit blind, and fly on to Munich in IMC or land nearby in VMC.

What you learn

  • Try every way to get through before you squawk 7600
  • Transmit blind, and answer with ident when ATC asks
  • Choose between 7600 in IMC and 7601 in VMC
  • Hold your last level and speed for 20 minutes in IMC
  • Start down at your expected approach time or your ETA
