Training map made from cronopaque film, 10½ by 8 inches, scale 1:100,000. The landing ellipse is marked near the center with lettered and numbered grid ticks listed along the left and bottom edges. Latitude and longitude positions are marked along the right and top edges. LAM 5 (Landing Area Map 5) is marked with both a label and tab along with a November 16, 1969 date label. BOLDLY SIGNED AND INSCRIBED: "Alan Bean, Apollo 12 LMP" below the landing ellipse. The training chart was for the back-up site to the primary Apollo landing site 7. The 16 November launch date was two days later that actual launch date of 14 November. The on-schedule launch enabled Apollo 12 to reach site 7 and inspect the Surveyor 3 robot lander which landed some 2½ years before Apollo 12.
