Forced landing in sea.
Following on from the recent tragic accident.
I’m sure I have a book somewhere with the answers but cannot find it.
Engine failure above sea, and not able to glide to land so must ditch in water.
After calling Mayday and switching off power and fuel.
Do you approach along sea waves and troughs, although this would put you crosswind?
Do you fly across waves only if wind is strong?
Do you fly normal landing aspect if in a taildragger?
Do you open windows and doors before impact?
Keep harness secure and release immediately after impact?
