A: Jack's Answer Is
There are quite a few things that help pilots navigate aircraft. Some of the lower technology aircraft only have a directional gyro that simply gives a heading that the aircraft is flying with a bubble compass as a backup. More high tech general aviation aircraft incorporate a GPS system to supplement the DG and compass. Along with these instruments, an aviation map called a “sectional” is like a road map, but you have to use an aeronautical plotter to determine which direction to travel. You can also use visual references to determine where you are going and where you came from such as smoke stacks, lakes, cities, mountains, etc.
