If you have an electrical failure on a Mooney at 7500ft, have to descend to land, will your path be cleared?

I am at 7500ft. total electrical failure, but still have hydraulic control, if I descend to land at the nearest field (which I can, of course see off to the right) will the fields radar clear a path for me, remember I cannot squawk emergency, or state mayday. What is the procedure to follow on the approach, low and slow, or get on the deck ASAP?If you have an electrical failure on a Mooney at 7500ft, have to descend to land, will your path be cleared?
Well...If you call this an emergency and using VFR rules fall into the pattern the tower won't take long before their flashing pretty lights at you. Just follow the instructions...including writing in triplicate why you thought this was an emergency %26amp; why you decided to have everything at the airport stop while you landed a good running aircraft.If you have an electrical failure on a Mooney at 7500ft, have to descend to land, will your path be cleared?
well you cant call into ATC you need keep an eye out for traffic and just go for it and hope nothing goes wrongs and then when ATC isn't getting a response they should know somethings wrong
Well you have magnetos on your aircraft that will keep you flying encase of total electrical failure... you can fly VFR to the nearest airport and land. Just keep an eye out for traffic since you cannot call your position around a uncontrolled airport. If your around a controlled airport ATC should figure it out and keep you clear.
