In the event of ground radio failure, what should you attempt after following lost communications procedures?

• A. Cancel all clearances and stop all movements
• B. Ask the pilot to report to the control center
• C. Reestablish contact and proceed with the filed route if possible
• D. Immediately issue a takeoff clearance

Answer: (C)

When radio fails on the ground, you first try to reestablish two‑way contact with the aircraft. If you manage to regain contact, you should then proceed with the flight as planned by following the filed route if possible. This keeps the aircraft moving safely toward its destination and avoids unnecessary delays or conflicts with other traffic while you work to restore communications. Canceling all clearances and stopping movements isn’t appropriate, asking the pilot to report to the control center isn’t part of the standard procedure, and issuing a takeoff clearance without a working radio would be unsafe.
