I did not suggest that when the point of realisation that the aircraft is behaving in such a manner as to be beyond our control to sit back and accept the inevitable. I am suggesting that we have an 'instinct' to get the aircraft on the ground at or as close as possible to an airfield/runway. Had Captain Haynes accepted the fact that the aircraft was beyond his ability to control it and put it down striaght and level in an open fireld he may well not have needed any emergency services at all.
I wasn't there and I admit that with the benefit of hindsight it is easy to be more analytical but this does not mean that to consider putting the aircraft in a field should be disregarded.
It is an option to be considered in an extreme situation but we are not 'programmed' to ever consider such a course of action.
My point is simply that perhaps we should be!
