Answer 22

, issue instructions:
* To enable all concerned aircraft to vacate the involved airspace at or above the minimum IFR altitude
* To minimize conflict with other aircraft
As soon as possible after emergency action has been initiated, instruct all aircraft concerned as to additional procedures to follow during and after the emergency descent

Question 23

Communication failures while being vectored:

Answer 23

If communication is lost with an aircraft being vectored, the pilot is expected to proceed by the most direct route possible to the NAVAID, or route specified in the last clearance.

Question 24

Communication failures while vectored - minimum IFR altitude

Answer 24

If a communication failure occurs while an aircraft is being vectored at an altitude below the published minimum IFR altitude, the pilot is expected to climb immediately to the appropriate published minimum IFR altitude, unless able to continue in VMC.

Question 25

Instrument Meteorological Conditions: If the failure occurs in instrument meteorological conditions, or if the flight cannot be continued under visual meteorological conditions, the pilot-in command shall continue the flight according to the following:

Answer 25

(a) Route (i) by the route assigned in the last ATC clearance received and acknowledged; or (ii) if being radar vectored, by the direct route from the point of communications failure to the fix, route, or airway specified in the vector clearance; or (iii) in the absence of an assigned route, by the route that ATC has advised may be expected in a further clearance; or (iv) in the absence of an assigned route or a route that ATC has advised may be expected in a further clearance, by the route filed in the flight plan. (b) Altitude At the HIGHEST of the following altitudes or flight levels for the ROUTE SEGMENT BEING FLOWN: (i) the altitude(s) or flight level(s) assigned in the last ATC clearance received, and acknowledged; or (ii) STAR charted altitude(s) or flight level(s); or (iii) the minimum IFR altitude (see TC AIM, RAC for definition); or (iv) the altitude or flight level ATC has advised may be expected in a further clearance. (The pilot shall commence climb to this altitude/FL at the time or point specified by ATC to expect further clearance/altitude change.)

Answer 26

When recording a pilot’s report of an ELT signal, obtain the signal strength, position, altitude, and time for when the signal was first and last received. If the ELT source cannot be identified: * Coordinate with adjacent ATS units. * Request aircraft in the area to listen on the distress frequencies and to report on the signal. * Forward all reported information as it is received. i.
