[Le capitaine] a rapidement trouvé une fréquence sur une carte en route, ce qui lui a subséquemment permis de rétablir la communication avec l'ATC [contrôle de la circulation aérienne]. Il a demandé qu'on lui réserve un bloc d'altitudes, car il éprouvait de la difficulté à maintenir une altitude précise à l'aide des seuls instruments de secours.
