3. The MEA between a and b . 5,000 feet. The MEA between b and c .5,000 feet. The MEA between c and d .11,000 feet. The MEA between d and e . 7,000 feet. A pilot had been cleared via a, b, c, d, to e. While flying between a and b the assigned altitude was 6,000 feet and the pilot was told to expect a clearance to 8,000 feet at b. Prior to receiving the higher altitude assignment, the pilot experienced two.way failure. The pilot would maintain 6,000 to b, then climb to 8,000 feet (the altitude the pilot was advised to expect.) The pilot would maintain 8,000 feet, then climb to 11,000 at c, or prior to c if necessary to comply with an MCA at c. (14 CFR Section 91.177(b).) Upon reaching d, the pilot would descend to 8,000 feet (even though the MEA was 7,000 feet), as 8,000 was the highest of the altitude situations stated in the rule 14 CFR Section 91.185.
12.7 Leave Clearance Limit
12.7.1 When the clearance limit is a fix from which an approach begins, commence descent or descent and approach as close as possible to the expect further clearance time if one has been received, or if one has not been received, as close as possible to the estimated time of arrival as calculated from the filed or amended (with ATC) estimated time en route.
12.7.2
If the clearance limit is not a fix from which an approach begins, leave the clearance limit at the expect further clearance time if one has been received, or if none has been received, upon arrival over the clearance limit, and proceed to a fix from which an approach begins and commence descent or descent and approach as close as possible to the estimated time of arrival as calculated from the filed or amended (with ATC) estimated time en route.

13.
Transponder Operation During Two.Way Communications Failure

13.1 If an aircraft with a coded radar beacon transponder experiences a loss of two.way radio capability, the pilot should adjust the transponder to reply on Mode 3/A, Code 7600.
13.2 The pilot should understand that the aircraft may not be in an area of radar coverage.

14. Reestablishing Radio Contact
14.1 In addition to monitoring the NAVAID voice feature, the pilot should attempt to reestablish communications by attempting contact:
14.1.1 On the previously assigned frequency.
14.1.2 With an FSS or ARINC.
14.2 If communications are established with an FSS or ARINC, the pilot should advise the aircraft’s position, altitude, and last assigned frequency; then request further clearance from the controlling facility. The preceding does not preclude the use of
121.5 MHz. There is no priority on which action should be attempted first. If the capability exists, do all at the same time.
NOTE.
Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) is a commer-cial communications corporation which designs, constructs, operates, leases or otherwise engages in radio activities serving the aviation community. ARINC has the capability of relaying information to/from ATC facilities throughout the country.
