Climb. Set heading indicator to maintain a heading. Using prominent landmarks, locate position on chart. Do VOR cross-check. verify location on sectional. calculate new ETA and fuel requirements. proceed to destination if fuel allows. Amend flight plan if necessary. Call dispatch immediately upon landing.
