When NORDO you cannot ascend or descend into
controlled space except as part of a flight plan.



If the aircraft radio fails in flight under VFR, the pilot in command
may operate that aircraft and land if--

(i) Weather conditions are at or above basic VFR weather minimums;

(ii) Visual contact with the tower is maintained; and

(iii) A clearance to land is received.
