What about an out landing before dark so you can see what yr doing.. Better to be on the ground having a brew by the campfire...even if the a/c is damaged in the process..or not.
Ive always reckoned that outlandings.. as in gliding are very useful training. And having had to land on a narrow road as opposed to yr usual big wide runway sure makes you want to get it right. Next time around , not so traumatic as you have had previous experience.
In the good old days the 'forced landing' actually was one...unless yr selection was obviously not a good choice. Watch out the sheep !!
