Emergency Egress
After you've wrestled your wounded bird onto the ground and hopefully brought it to rest without killing yourself and a tree or two, you've then got to get your passengers, crew and yourself out. So who's tested it? Have you a strategy for escaping a bent 152? What about aircraft with one door? How about gull wing doors on an upturned aircraft? Do you carry an 'escape axe' and would you know where to start cutting your way out? What if your passenger were unconcious - especially in a PA28? Does your airfield allow you to conduct a practice escape drill on their taxiway/apron/ramp and how long did it take you? I wonder what our combined experiences will reveal.
