Once your visual check and your control check have been completed, you will need to locate the landing area. It can be a little confusing to find your way from the sky the first time but don't panic, it's not that complicated. You can use several landmarks on the ground to orient yourself. The video below lists these landmarks.
Sometimes you may not be able to make it to the landing area. Fortunately, in St-Esprit, there are fields as far as the eye can see. You therefore have many other options for landing. These options are called “Plans Bs”.
