In case of real emergency - choose an airfield with tarmac- and emergency services!!!!

Remeber a training flight, where I was a passenger (my company check already finished), when the student, lowering the collective on a single engine landing, dug in so deep, that the bouldersteps on the struts moved so far up, that student and instructor couldnīt open the doors to get out.
I could get out the back and after unsrewing the bouldersteps, both could get out.
Or remember the MD crash of the policehelicopter at Hannover, where they had a NOTAR-problem.
All went well, until the helicopter veered to the side of the runway and touched grass.....

So in case the sh.. hits the fan - big airfield!!!!
