Newbie holding questions

Without an EFC I wouldn't enter the hold. It's a moot point anyway,
whatever caused my comm radios to go belly up will affect my nav radios the
same way and I won't be able to identify the holding fix.

Why would a transistor failure or other comm circuit failure affect your
nav?

It wouldn't. Nor would it affect my other comm.

Then why did you write: "It's a moot point anyway, whatever caused my

won't be able to identify the holding fix."

I have two comm radios, they share no components, have separate antennas. I
use a headset but also have a hand microphone and cabin speaker. I have
auxiliary headset jacks that allow me to bypass the audio panel. What
single point of failure would disable both of my comm radios but not affect
my nav radios?

I don't know. But unless you are the only person in the air, procedures
must be designed to take into account the failure modes of other
aircraft, which could easily include loss of com without loss of nav.
And if you =are= the only person in the air, ATC is not necessary.

Such as go back in the thread and re-read the posts you dismissed as not
pertaining to your aircraft.

I don't know I was simply responding to what you wrote. At least my
newsreader showed you as the author of the post that made the above
statement.

I did write it. Do you now understand why it's a moot point?
