What are the lost comm procedures if the clearance limit isn't an

While VFR-on-top? Continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as
practicable.



What if you're unable like a deck below giving 1000' or less ceilings.
Do you then use the IFR lost comm procedures?

Since you're still on an IFR flight plan and need to adhere to IFR
rules, you shouldn't get hung out to dry if something goes wrong.

I remember learning about this, but forget.


I would only accept non airport clearance limit if I were essentially
guaranteed that I would be VFR to the ground within 10-15 min. flying range.
