Have you ever done one? Have you ever looked at the area you were in
while driving down the road and asked if you could land safely there?
Ever tried to walk through a field of cotton, soybeans, tomatoes,
alfalfa, or ???? Do you know if there are furrows or irrigation rows?
How about trying to land in a field of corn? Ever tried to walk thru
one?
OK ...how about landing on a road. What about the road signs, wires,
bridges, poles, or other obstacles?
When was the last time you surveyed an area to see what the conditions
were or how you would make a landing with an engine out away from any
runway or airport?
Hmmmmm ...getting out my old brown colored stick and reaching for the
proverbial pot.....
Now that we are approaching winter weather should we start talking
about the peculiar conditions with wet and freezing conditions? Of
late here we are seeing frost on our wings with the attendant
problems.
Any discussions ... any one?
