you cleared to?


As far as I understand, you have no clearance limit.

Sure you do, the airport. Just like when you are sitting on the ground
and get your clearance, you are cleared to the airport.


If you lose comms and cannot go VFR, then you just fly to your
destination and
shoot an approach, no holds required.

Just like normal.
