I have a bunch of questions that I'm coming up with after doing some reviewing of the regs and AIM. I have my own guesses to some of these questions but I'm sure somebody out there can answer them. Some of them may be silly.
Question #1: If on an instrment approach and you are lost comm, how do you get your landing clearance if the weather is near minimums. Since squacking 7600 isn't an emergency, you can't deviate from the regs. I would land with or with out the landing clearance but that is just me.
Question #2: If you cancel IFR in Class Bravo, do you need to get a clearance to be in Bravo before you cancel IFR. Its a stupid question but I heard of one guy getting violated for cancelling IFR while in Bravo.
Question #4: How come 91.159 VFR CRUISING ALTITUDE OR FLIGHT LEVEL even mentions VFR in the flight levels. Don't you need to be IFR up there?
Question #5: You are being vectored to an ILS with no IAF or other feeder route typical of a big city. You lose your radios and you have no GPS, how would you get on the approach?
Question #6: How come a transponder is not required for IFR flight?
Question #7: You want to do some touch and gos but the ceiling is 1100 feet. The field technically isn't IFR but if you are at TPA of 1,000 ft AGL you are violating cloud clearance requirements since you are only 100 ft below the layer. Can you request special VFR or what?
