The other day, something crazy happened. A pilot died mid-flight, and a passenger (who had a little experience) landed the plane. Whole story here.
Not to say this would ever happen to me, but it's nice to know that if there is an emergency, I can at least find out some information using a Sectional Aeronautical Chart. This is a map especially for pilots that they use while flying to locate airports, elevation, locations, etc. Pete taught me how to read one today as my new thing, and it was surprisingly easier to grasp than it appeared. (Who knew that the air had its own freeways??)
Now, finding my way on a Utah map? That's another story.
