Of course no -one ever made a boo-boo doing forced landing in a plank.....

p l o n k e r.

Thing is though do you think touchdown autos should be part of the PPL syllabus? So many aircraft lost, though thankfully not too many injuries, due to this.

Yet in normal ppl flying so few engine failures. If you can get it into auto, drive it to a clear level field and do a flare your're pretty likey to walk away. These parts of the manoever, can be practised ad nauseam with very little risk and are, in my mind so much more important.
