Identify prominent landmarks.
Bottom line
If flying near a town or city, it may be possible to read the name of the town on a water tower. If a town or city cannot be seen, the first thing to do is climb, being mindful of traffic and weather conditions. If GPS is installed, or a pilot has a portable aviation GPS on board, it can be used to determine the position and the location of the nearest airport.
