You hop in the gondola and begin going west until you hear the telltale beep of the GPS. You begin flying in a circle to establish the perimeter. After about twenty minutes of zigzagging to match the signal, you get a pretty good idea of where the boundaries and center of the circle would be, indicating where the lost chronocom is at. (This does not mean it will not move later or be subject to other issues.)
In your fly around, you also do not encounter any buildings or foreign objects, but you stay just inside the perimeter (see map) and do not stray too close yet. The area inside the circle is primarily dense foliage. You look south down the ravine you traversed to the river where you boarded your rafts.
On the ground below, you see another pair of the vicious dinosaur-like creatures and remember having two encounters with that species just two days ago. But this time, you are not stuck on the ground with minimal ammo.

Looking east toward the center of the perimeter, you see only thick foliage. However, it would be easy to hide installations, vehicles, and even a small ship within those trees. The 20 km range to the center also gives you a very poor view of what might be at the center, at least from this distance.

Similarly, Bartja and S'krllk are too far away to see since they crashed in the forest. You heard the warning about an EMP pulse before they crashed and are wary of such. You do have a sense of where they crashed approximately (see map). However, they are on the far side of the hills and ravines in dense forest and cannot be seen from the air.

Despite the long distance, you also have a decent view of the top of the ridge area where Dentin's ship might have crashed since it is a plateau with grasses and shrubbery and not so much hidden with trees.
But you do not see his ship, meaning it might have crashed slightly south in the tree area on the far side of the ridge.

OOC: Note that S'rkllk and Bartja are being run on a different private thread, so you don't know what's happening or how they are posting at the moment. This thread remains public.
