You are on a flight from Stansted to Amsterdam and just after T/O you are at your cleared level of 2000ft when you have a complete radio failure. What are your actions?
First continue on the SID and try all available resources to check if you have a complete radio failure.
If so, squawk 7600 and return towards the airport.
What is MDA?
What is MDA?
Minimum decent altitude (non-precision), the lowest altitude, expressed in feet above mean sea level to which descent is authorised on final approach or during circle-to-land maneuvering in execution of a standard instrument approach procedure where no electronic glideslope is provided.
If not visual between MDA and MAPt, a Go-around must be initiated.
