I asked this in the other thread and ask again now!
Has anyone ever landed a Group A (or whatever they are called now) aeroplane in a field due to bad weather? Or heard of anyone who has? Well? In many years, Ive never heard of anyone doing it.
There is not an unsubstantial risk involved both with the landing and any subsequent take off. Therefore I would expect to see some accident reports. There are none, that I know of.
Maybe one ought to be asking why pilots appear to avoid it, possibly at any costs. I assume they try to get to an airfield, sometimes with tragic consequences.
So lets try and find out why, few if any, pilots actually go ahead and carry out a forced landing with power in a field?
I do not include helos, gliders, or microlights in this discussion.
