Any landing you can swim away from, or even better step up onto the rescue boat, must be good one.

I remember many years ago being told by our boss what the required course standard was for a successful engine off "by first solo the wreckage should resemble an aircraft, by basic handling check the wreckage should resemble a helicopter, and by final handling test the wreckage should resemble a Gazelle"

I think that whoever was driving deserves a pat on the back and a stiff drink for getting it down in a lot better than condition 3 above, lets face it you donīt get to practice that often.
