Fair enough.


So you can fly anywhere you want and atc is supposed to guess where you


He didn't say "anywhere you want".

"Radio failure is an emergency. You fly where ever you need to in order
to safely get on the ground. That sounds like anywhere you want to
me. My point is that how the hell is atc supposed to figure out where
you are going to go if you don't follow any procedures? I am not saying
that the procedures are perfect, but guess work is not a good idea.
Putting in your expected nordo procedure (if it deviates from FARs) int
he comments section is a good idea.


are going or magically know whom to keep away from your unknown
position? They cancel and stop all flights while you fly wherever you
want?


Neither guessing nor magic is required. Your position is not unknown.
Flights are neither cancelled nor stopped.

Um, if you are going to make up some route or your own clearance that is
not what it says int he FARs, then how is ATC going to "keep other
aircraft out of your way?" The answer is - they are going to impose a
far greater delay and re-reouting than if the nordo pilot followed the
right procedures. Are you saying radar covers all of the CONUS? I
didn't know that was the case.






Does not sound good to me.


Get your hearing checked.

I still don't like what I am hearing. There are a lot of advocates for
just making stuff up.
