Interesting. So would you consider it worse than a cornfield for landing?
pchapman,
Absolutely not. I think a corn crop would cause far more damage than a rape crop. If I was forced to land in either of them, I would treat it like a treetop landing, that is landing as absolutely slowly as possible.
Note for the Brit majority on here. I'm assuming that pchapman, being in Ontario, is referring to maize, rather than what is called corn in the UK, i.e. wheat.
sandringham1,
It goes through the same stages on the Prairies, but much more quickly, since it is not sown until the spring. It amazes me that a field of little innocuous shoots can grow into an impenetrable thicket!
PS You can see why we have to be careful when operating on our grass runways during the Canola rotation year:
