The country I’m in doesn’t allow me to open the posted link but if you can contact your girlfriend you can contact ATC.
When flightinstructing a colleague called the local tower on his cellphone after loosing all electrical power. Wasn’t even any paperwork.
I flew around with both the number of the flightschool and the control tower in my phone.
Back in 2000 I remember doing a Florida-Texas return XC with a foreign time building student in a C172 that only had one radio.
We did half of it at night and I carried an emergency kit with a flare gun.
Stupid or not I figured I could always shoot a flare at the tower if we lost all.
