I have to admit, after experiencing my own in-flight fire/smoke & fumes in the cockpit and after reading about this and other accidents, I fly scared now.

Unless I am very knowledgeable about the area I'm flying over, I routinely check the Alternates page, seeing which airport is closest. Then I load up the airport diagram in the EFB and look at the what approach facilities and runways the airport has.

Since doing this, I've had several Captains ask me what or why I was doing this. And after telling them, they look at me like I'm crazy.
