talking to the man, we heard the first siren. I thought

A German glider club created a form sheet to be placed in the abandoned
cockpit after an outlanding:

It cannot really be translated, because it contains are a couple of
hidden insider jokes. Anyway, it roughly (and very freely) translates to
somethiing like this (and yes, it *is* a joke):
For your information
This isn't an airplane crash, it's a legal outlanding as described in
the FAR xxx.
The pilot is healthy as documented in his medical [in Germany glider
pilots need a medical] and he is on his way to inform the owner of the
field about the possible damage done to the plants.
So it is neither nessessairy to alarm the SAR nor to inform the
governor, the FAA or the FBI.
I'll be back soon!
