# Key Takeaways ![[IFR Radio Comm Part 2 Two-Way Radio Failure.jpeg]] # Details 1. [[Squawk 7600]] 2. Consider calling [[TRACON]] or Center on your cell phone! 3. In VMC, continue VFR, land as soon as practicable. 4. In IMC: 1. For Route, use mnemonic [[AVE-F|AVE-F]] – Assigned, Vectored, Expected, then Filed (in that order of priority) 2. For Altitude on each route segment, use highest of mnemonic [[MEA (Lost Comms)]] – Minimum (MEA), Expected, Assigned 3. Leave Clearance Limit^[See also [[How Far Can You Go]]] 1. When at fix from which approach begins, leave at EFC time if given, otherwise commence descent as close as possible to ETA 2. When not at a fix from which approach begins, leave clearance limit at the EFC time if received and proceed to a fix from which an approach begins; commence descent or descent and approach as close as possible to the ETA. Otherwise upon arrival over the clearance limit, proceed to a fix from which an approach begins; commence descent or descent and approach as close as possible to the ETA # Additional Resources - [[AIM 6]]-2 - [[Lost Communication Procedure Practice]] - Video of [Real Lost Comms in IMC](https://pilotworkshop.com/lost-comm-imc-video/) - [[IFR Radio Comm Part 1 General.jpeg]] and [[IFR Radio Comm Part 2 Two-Way Radio Failure.jpeg]] - [[FAR 91.185 Lost Comms]] - [[Turri 2011]], [[Turri 2011]], [[Van West 2018]] #concept
