even if you are in a nice jet, with multiple engines, there may be a time you have to land off airport

so always have a field, open area, road, waterway etc in mind on which to land.

and as you travel across country, be thinking ahead to the next emergency landing spot.

a plane may catch fire (think swiss air, value jet, UPS) and getting down anywhere might save lives.


all engines may quit

and the person who indicated a flight doesn't end till you taxi to parking and shut down the engines....that's fine, but you might make sure the parking brake is set and the chocks are in place.
