VMC - If able to maintain flight in VMC,
continue flight under VFR and land as soon
as practical and notify ATC. It is not
intended that the requirement to "land as
soon as practical" be construed to mean
"as soon as possible." The pilot retains his
prerogative of exercising his best
judgement and is not required to land at an
unauthorized airport, at an airport
unsuitable for the type of aircraft flown, or
to land only minutes short of his
destination. The primary objective of this
provision is to preclude extended IFR
operation in the air traffic control system in
VMC. When operating "on top" and unable
to descend in VMC prior to destination, the
procedures contained in paragraph 5 apply
5.
IMC - If VMC is not encountered, continue
the flight according to the following:
a.
Route
(1) By the route assigned in the last
ATC clearance received
(2) If being RADAR vectored, by the
direct route from the point of radio
failure to the fix, or airway
specified in the vector clearance
(3) In the absence of an assigned
route, by the route that ATC has
advised may be expected in a
further clearance
(4) In the absence of an assigned
route or a route that ATC has
advised may be expected in a
further clearance, by the route filed
in the flight plan
