Hey Capt.:. .. .That is an easy one.. .. .The pilot in command will always choose the safest option in any emergency.. .. .If you can safely land on the motorway, highway or road that is what you should do.. .. .Even if the local authorities fine you ( Highly unlikely ) it will be far cheaper than injuring yourself or a passenger as well as cheaper than fixing a busted up airplane.. .. ....................... . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />
