Communication

4.11.2.2 Your procedures and phraseology in case of radio faults

You have determined that your transmitter is OK, but you are not getting a

response.

In the hope that it is the other people's equipment that is faulty, you continue
to make messages.

You begin these with the phrase:

- "Transmitting Blind "

and make the messages you would otherwise make.

You have determined that there is a fault in your receiver.

You begin with the phrase:

- "Transmitting blind due to receiver failure "

and make the messages you would otherwise make.

The message must contain information about what the pilot intends to do and

the time of the next call.

The entire message must only be sent once, but with parts of the message

repeated to give the receiver a better chance of understanding and because

the message could coincide with messages from other aircraft.

You state the time of the next expected call so that the frequency can be free,

and the ground station can be prepared.

For example: "Billund Twr. OYBKA transmitting blind Give 43 calls back

north of runway 47 – I say again – Billund Tower OYBKA transmitting

blind Give 43 calls back north of runway 47”

If the aircraft is equipped with a transponder, you squawk 7600.
