Re: Stalling: Like most people, I've practiced many times EFATOs and simulated forced landings into fields.

This may be nothing to do with this accident but I still think the discussion is useful. It must be the hardest thing to keep airspeed up and not pull up when you know there is no suitable landing area and you are going to hit something fairly solid. We know it's usually better to hit something at low speed in a stable attitude rather than spinning in, but I hope I can maintain presence of mind if it ever comes to it.
