It's probably
the most common advice offered to new pilots, but don't wait too long to ask
for help. Whether you're trapped above clouds,
"temporarily disoriented" or have some other problem, someone on the
ground may be able to help.
If you do get into trouble, remember THE FOUR Cs of any emergency other than loss of
power or fire:
- · Climb
- · Communicate
- · Confess
- · Comply
Climb for better radio reception
Communicate with someone on the ground who can help
Confess the details of your situation, whether or not it’s of your own making
Comply with any directions received
Remember that while this may be your
first emergency, the person on the other end of the radio may have dealt with
the same problem a dozen or more times. He or she is very likely to have access
to information, equipment and assets that you don't.
FLY SAFE!
