Readers may rember the Sioux city complete loss of hydraulics accident. Having studied that I decided that if faced with a similar situation I would practice a great deal more before trying a landing. Also, if available, probably a calm sea water landing. Plenty of runway, no line up problems and little chance of fire.

Botany Bay in Sydney would be ideal; lots of rescue and facilities available.

That is how one can learn from reading accident reports. Fortunately I never had to try it out
