to bang out or not to bang out
plane is under control....no flames licking round your bum....but engine is silent. no runway within glide range.
PPL tuition for forced landings.....find a suitable field
but with ex-military hardware underneath you...say a JP5....do you point aircraft somewhere safe, and bang out, or find a long flat surface? does it make any difference if the wind in 40kts at 2,000 feet?
any views out there?
