reality of ditching
im sure this topic has been covered before, so i apologise in advance.
what are the chances of ditching an a/c into the sea safely and passengers surviving on board?
i remember the ethopian a/c ditching and the result was not pretty.
is there any differnce in ditching at sea or on land. i know that at sea u would have to land between the waves, and with the tides rather then against it, and on land gear would be down and sea it would be up.
please correct me if im wrong, and is there any differnce in ditching with differnt a/c types.
cheers.
