8. Radio failure

Although it rarely happens, you should know what to do if your radio suddenly

stops working.

In 98% of cases, operating errors are the cause of the problems.

Therefore, remember to:

- check that the radio is turned on and the volume is adjusted

Then check:

- is the correct frequency set?

- is the audio panel set correctly?

- are all connectors securely fastened?

In practice, the suspicion of a failed radio connection will arise if an aircraft does

not receive a response to its messages – or if a busy frequency suddenly becomes

silent.

If it is not possible for an aircraft to establish contact with the aeronautical radio

station in question on the frequency normally used by the station, the aircraft

must:

a. attempt to establish contact on the previously used frequency and, if this

does not give results, on another appropriate frequency or if this is

unsuccessful

b. attempt to establish contact with the aeronautical radio station in

question, other aeronautical radio stations or other aircraft using any

available means, with information that the connection on the originally

assigned frequency could not be established, or if this is also unsuccessful

c. on the normally used frequency, begin the transmission with the phrase

TRANSMITTING BLIND and then transmit the message twice.
