Narrative:
At approximately xa:34 aircraft X reported engine failure. I called over the area supervisor and displayed my emergency map. I provided aircraft X distance and direction to two airports and the location of a highway. I relayed pertinent weather information to include recent PIREP from one of the airports regarding cloud bases. At approximately xa:37 aircraft X advised airport in sight. At approximately xa:39 I changed him to advisory frequency. I do not recall equipment settings.
