JP3/5 and Tucano could technically all be force landed without power. The stronger the wind the better due to the reduced groundspeed; could also be a good reason not to jettison the ac and use the parachute. I would prefer to risk a 50-60kt G/S forced landing than a 30-40kts G/S parachute landing IF I had a suitable field. However, not much time at the bottom to revert to the seat if you did pork it up!
