About this listen
This podcast details procedures for pilots who become lost in flight. Key strategies include the "Five C's"—Circle, Confess, Climb, Conserve, and Communicate—to regain situational awareness and request assistance. The document outlines using available resources, such as air traffic control, electronic flight bags, and navigation aids (VOR/NDB), to determine location and plot a safe course. Common errors made by lost pilots are also highlighted, emphasizing the importance of fuel management, proper use of navigational tools, and timely communication. Ultimately, the text aims to guide pilots toward safe resolution of in-flight disorientation.
