In some of the other threads in this forum there are stark reminders of the differences between the US and the UK. But here in the US this is EXACTLY what I was taught both in FW and helos
Yep - I did my PPL in the US also and that's what I was taught too
There was the usual banter about trying to hit a road/beach/field - but with the donkey stopped nobody can hear you coming, if you hit a car you'll likely kill them aswell as yourself, and it's best to avoid the swap in FL, both for impact and for crocs!
Over here, with a decent moon, there should be at least a passable field availiable. Hopefully!
There was some debate about the survivability of landing on trees - the feeling being it was reasonably survivable - anyone have any stats on that?
