Oh BTW

I reckon a plan while in the air and tell anyone thats talking to you and destracting you to standby.

And doing everything as you would do normally, unlatch the doors before the approach and pull the mixture in the flare and master switch off.

Land on a hard surface if possible.

But to be honest as much as SSD came across a bit harsh. The likelyhood of you coming to grief is quite remote. Especially if the fire service is waiting for you to land.

As for the static I don't have a clue the car will be insulated from earth by the tyres but I would presume there would be a difference in PD between aircraft and the person. How much of a belt that would give you I don't know.
