Derfred you sound like a simpleton

Additional Fixed Wing emergencies that MAY require additional space at recovery airport (departure/destination/alternate or diversion airport):
  • Flapless approaches – requires additional runway/clearway due high approach speed
  • Hydraulics failures – may require additional landing area (lateral/longitudinal) – extra runway width/length likely to be required
  • Electrical failures – may adversely affect flight controls
  • Flight control malfunctions (stuck controls, control surface damage due impact with UAV, birds, another aircraft etc.)
  • Engine failures (multiple engine failure/stall/surge)
  • Engine fires / Aircraft Fires
  • Bird strikes – resulting in severe engine damage (usually multiple)
  • Landing gear malfunctions
  • Over-speeding Propellers
Additional Helicopter specific emergencies that MAY require additional space for recovery at an airport or helicopter LZ (or available open space):
  • Tail rotor failures – may require landing at speed (run on landing)
  • High rotor RPM / Low Rotor RPM
  • Gear Box Failures (Main Rotor and/or Tail Rotor)
  • Flight control malfunctions (cyclic, collective, tail-rotor and/or combination) – may require landing at speed (run on landing)
  • Engine failures – if near / above field – may require immediate auto-rotation and landing in any open space immediately below flight path
  • Engine Fires – as above
