What would you do?
im not sure this is the appropriate forum for this type of topic, but there doesnt seam to be anywhere that it would fit, anyway here goes.
A hypothetical situation!
You are the pilot of a Cessna 172 that had just taken off, and had about 150 feet of altitude. The plane had just cleared the runway, and there were trees around the airport. The engine suddenly dies and it looks like you have nowhere to go but into the forest!.
In a situation like this, where you've just taken off, and don't have enough altitude to return to the airport, and there are woods all around you, what is the recommended course of action? Trim the plane for straight and level flight and try to aim away from the biggest trees? Obviously damage to the plane is a seconday consideration, but what would the chances of surviving a crash like this be, assuming you made a controlled landing into the forest?
