Emergency Landing Guidelines
Posted by Jeffrey on 18th August 2009
So what would you do if you couldn’t glide to an airport and and land if you engine quits?
Personally, when I fly, I am always looking for landing spots. Even in my CRJ-200, I am looking for places to go.
I am always asking myself:
+ Could I land there?
+ Is that airport’s runway long enough?
+ Are there any obstacles? Trees? Powerlines?
+ Could I glide my airplane to that point from 30,000 feet? From 5,000 feet?
