Three hours into the flight, one of our planes was involved in a mid-air collision (whether it was with another aircraft or another object, I am not sure). The plane is still airborne but is only able to fly higher and to the right. All attempts to make a left turn or decrease altitude have failed. I need some expert knowledge on what would happen in this situation. Judging by the damage, is it possible to land the plane safely? *Is an emergency landing feasible? If so, what would the steps necessary be to execute it and how long (roughly) would that take? Thank you for your help! -- jason219 Although the airfoil surfaces are stuck in a position to induce lift, the plane would be induced to decrease elevation by throttle reduction or fuel mixture. If you can only turn left you won't make it. --- Mark |
