Before a flight, why should a crew identify one or more emergency landing areas along the planned route?
- A.So the aircraft can be recovered without ever using its normal landing site
- B.So passengers in nearby buildings know where to gather
- C.So a forced landing can be made in a clear area away from people instead of improvising under stress
Correct answer
C. So a forced landing can be made in a clear area away from people instead of improvising under stress
Why
Pre-selected areas give the remote PIC a ready option if power, link, or control problems force an immediate landing. Choosing them in advance avoids searching for a safe spot while workload is already high.
