I'm Lost?
Sennadog,
The suggestions so far have been right on the mark. But the most important thing to do is to ADMIT that you are lost then effectively and efficently work out the situation.
Being an air traffic controller I've had many pilots call on frequency that were lost, getting lost is not limited to general aviaition pilots so don't ever become embarrased when you do get lost. Just last year I had a military C17 at FL310 call on lost due to an electrical failure.
Air Traffic Controllers utilize the following methods to locate a lost pilot listed in order of preference is: Radar Identification, VOR orientation, DF equipment (which is not as available as it use to be) prominant land marks (lakes, highways, buildings, etc), another aircraft (someone hopefully with DF).
I can not stress enough the importance of recognizing that you are in a situation (lost) soon enough and asking for help.
