Do they still teach that ?

Still need to learn it now do you? Go pay the instructor and get the help
you need...

My question was and still is
Do they still teach pilots how to fly nonaudio circuits ?
I use
d to fly DH82s and PA18s in the 60s, aircraft not known for their
copious radio equipment.

in australia the student at a GAAP airport will be given a circuit or
two with simulated radio out and the student being given the tower's
aldis lamp signalling.

the procedure in australia is to dial up 7600 on the transponder, if
fitted, which indicates radio failure, then to proceed as per normal
practise still trying to make radio calls. you just slot in and make
the circuit as best you can. they'll get the picture eventually, and
watch for aldis light signals from the tower.

so yes it is still taught, but there isnt much to teach.

GAAP = general aviation airport procedures.
these procedures are used at australian secondary airports.


Thanks.
