I was given this scenario on my Commercial Single eng GFT out of Oxford. Was is a Piper Tomahawk (glides quite well) but not a cornfield contender. Opted for small but doable field into wind with Farm House at the end. During the go around the CAFU man was less than happy and asked why I did not go for said cornfield alongside.
I pointed out we would prob end up on our back unable to exit (canopy not doors) and that was before the Corn caught fire. That confused him (he prob had not seen a light a/c upside down in a corn field),(but I have). The upshot was quite a 'conversation' about PFL's as opposed to real ones. A week later on a low level transit to an airshow in a vintage machine, no 1 cylinder decided to eat an exhaust valve for breakfast requiring a very swift pull up and 360 into the only possible field, requiring a substantial side slip (no flaps fitted) past the the farm house kitchen. I still remember thinking as I kicked it all off, CAFU would'nt like this one bit.!!!. The tea and cakes were a delight.
