Conventional wisdom, according to every controller I have ever discussed this with, is to forget about the regs, fly to the destination as planned and shoot an approach. Their reasoning is that once you are identified as NORDO, either by transponder or by failing to communicate, they will sterilize the airspace around the destination until you are on the ground. They do not want to keep other planes hanging while you comply with the regs You will not find this in writing in any official pub. Interesting. I just took my IA checkride and of course they asked about NRODO rules. The DE said "what would *you* do?" I told him. "The regs say .... but after reading a heck of a lot, apparently controllers expect you to shoot you choice of IAP as soon as possible as not to tie up air space." He said "perfect." I specifically ask him about holding until your planned arrival time and his reponse was that it was nonsense and the FAR's have not been updated to follow the controller's bible. Can a controller confirm this? Gerald |
