The Mnemonic I was taught was AVE FAME . Assigned Vectored Expected Filed (highest alt) Assigned Minimum Expected.

And, remember, there is a big difference between what you do if you are VMC or IMC.
If you are VMC, and you see an airport you can land at under VFR rules you are expected to do so even if you are up in Class A airspace or filed under IFR rules.

Clipping below is from AIM 6.4.1

2. VFR conditions. If the failure occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR conditions are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable.

NOTE-
This procedure also applies when two-way radio failure occurs while operating in Class A airspace. The primary objective of this provision in 14 CFR Section 91.185 is to preclude extended IFR operation by these aircraft within the ATC system. Pilots should recognize that operation under these conditions may unnecessarily as well as adversely affect other users of the airspace, since ATC may be required to reroute or delay other users in order to protect the failure aircraft. However, it is not intended that the requirement to "land as soon as practicable" be construed to mean "as soon as possible." Pilots retain the prerogative of exercising their best judgment and are not required to land at an unauthorized airport, at an airport unsuitable for the type of aircraft flown, or to land only minutes short of their intended destination.



FAA doesn't want you flying w/out radios for any longer than you have to
