So, you're answer is "no". Got it. Thanks,


I thought I responded to this yesterday, but I didn't see it so I'm
trying again...

Actually, had you invested 5 minutes, you would have found:

"10-2-5. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
Consider that an aircraft emergency exists and inform the RCC or ARTCC and
alert the appropriate DF facility when:
[...]
b. There is unexpected loss of radar contact and radio communications with
any IFR or VFR aircraft.

The assertion I was questioning was with regard to loss of communications
only, not communications *and* radar. Your quote above seems to cover loss
of both communications *and* radar.

What am I missing?
