I would be very grateful to anyone who could offer some answers to the following -
Two scenarios, the first is flight over irregular terrain such as this first photo.
Scenario 1
This is an Astar American Squirrel flying in Hawaii
In the above photo the Astar is operating a scenic tourist flight. The tourists enjoy the dramatic landscape and scenery, which I understand. My question is - if the engine cut at the time of this photo what is the pilot trained to do?
My next question is - who determines the safe flight routes for tourist flights and is this same rugged terrain the same for the Grand Canyon?
Scenario 2
The Bell 206 spraying
If you are flying maybe at 80, 90 or even 100 knots and you are very low level, such a when spraying, and the engine cuts, what does the pilot do? Is there anything he can do?
Who makes the risk assessment for agricultural flying?
Thanks in advance.
Just trying to understand how pilots get out of tricky situations and how they get into them in the first place.
