Aircraft between marshal and 7,000 feet that have established Delta holding and subsequently realize lost communications prior to acknowledging new EAT shall ____.

In lost communications IFR, you follow the last assigned clearance and the expected approach time. If you’re established in a published hold and a new EAT has been issued but you cannot acknowledge it, you should still proceed with the approach at the expected time. Commencing the approach immediately aligns with continuing the flight plan under the loss-comm rules rather than lingering in the hold without guidance. Holding in place or asking for vectors isn’t appropriate when you have no way to communicate, and climbing to a different altitude isn’t required unless the last clearance dictates it.
