Helicopter pilot lands to ask for directions in Kazakhstan

A lorry driver has captured the moment a military pilot landed on a Kazakhstan highway to ask for help after getting lost.

He asked the way to the north-western city of Aktobe, to the amusement of two lorry drivers in radio communication.

The Ministry of Defence said the pilot had been taking part in a visual orientation exercise when he lost his bearings.

First rule of air navigation.

A pilot is never lost, although he may be temporarily uncertain of his position.
