How's the terrain in terms of survivability if you're forced to land
off airport?

Not great. That is one of the reasons we fly a Turbo charged 337. Their
Single engine service ceiling is 15,000 feet. Higher than any of the
terrain in our patrol area. The only reason we could have a double
engine failure is fuel exhaustion. This is the most preventable cause
for an accident. We keep a very close watch on fuel consumption.
