APPENDIX A

IMC If unable to reach VMC and continued flight under IMC conditions is required, notify

ATC of the nature of your emergency and your intended action. Consider all pertinent

information. Determine your present position relative to the nearest IAF compatible with the

navigational equipment installed on your aircraft. Do not hesitate to declare an emergency if

priority handling would expedite your approach and landing. Use good headwork when

requesting the approach. Radar vectors to the final approach course is expeditious, however,

not always available. Other methods include immediate clearance for a TACAN or VOR

approach, as well as Ground Controlled Approaches. Situational awareness is essential to

exercising good headwork.
