I’ve flown a few times as a passenger in a small plane. I’ve wondered what I’d do if the pilot faints. I see the pilots look in a book or map to determine the frequency of an airport they want to talk to, and then set their radio.
If my pilot faints, how do I tune to the frequency of a nearby airport? Worst case I can’t talk to anyone on the ground. Big worry.

It is monitored from every airport and also from low orbit satellites....and many planes in the air.
