The only relevant bit of a forced landing is the landing
If it's an engine failure at 2000 feet or 200 feet makes little difference
Too much is made of selecting a landing field from a 2000 foot cut
The main things are to keep flying don't fixate on one course of action and be prepared to change if things are not looking good
The field left or right which is too short with a fence and crosswind is better than landing short into trees or buildings on the path to your so carefully selected field at 2000 feet which may look very different when your down at 200
