Question: What do you do if you lost communication in IMC?
Answer: Squack 7600, maintain IFR route, try to initiate communications, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate
Attempt to restore comms, if unable, squawk 7600, then fly your route as filed to your clearance limit until your EFC time, then shoot an approach at the nearest suitable airport.
If you have been cleared all the way to your destination then you are to hold at your destination, then arrive at the IAF at your slated ETA. For enroute lost comms altitudes, it’s filed, MEA/MOCA, or OROCA, whichever is higher and applicable to your route of flight. If you were off airway and you went lost comms, you’d have to climb to the OROCA. If you’re on an airway, you’d have to be at or above the MEA (which you should ordinarily be anyway)
