Q154 If a communication failure occurs while your aircraft is being operated in a holding pattern and the weather is below instrument approach minima or the aerodrome is closed for any reason you shall:

Continue to hold until your expected diversion time, fly to your alternate, conduct an approach there.

Descend in the hold and continue to make missed approaches until your expected arrival time.

Conduct an approach anyway.

Continue to hold in the hope conditions improve.

Correct!

Incorrect!

Q148 According to CAR Part 91 Subpart E, a pilot of a non-turbine aircraft must ensure there is adequate fuel to complete the flight (with or without an alternate) and then:

Q151 You are the pilot of an aircraft following an IFR flight plan. You suffer a communication failure but are able to maintain VMC. As per the pink pages you shall squawk 7600 and:

Switch to VFR and continue your flight taking care to remain clear of controlled airspace.

Continue in VMC, land at the nearest suitable airfield and inform ATS via the most expeditious route.

Continue to your destination maintaining VMC, and make a visual approach.

Continue, controllers will now be aware of your issue and move other aircraft out of your way.

Correct!

Incorrect!
