![]() "Mxsmanic" wrote .. Your opinion again. That airliner captain would have training and experience in using a magnetic compass, so it certainly would be better than nothing to him. It's better than nothing Good, we're making some progress. in the sense that hitting dirt is better than hitting concrete. I don't find that comparison universally valid, so I have to disregard it. For example, if you have to make a gear-up landing, you are advised to do it on concrete rather than grass (or dirt). That's what the literature says anyway. |

That's what the literature says anyway. But both are considered accidents, as opposed to a normal landing with gear, which is not an accident. Thus, while a landing on one surface may do less damage than a landing on another surface, that is not a huge consolation to the pilot who has to land without gear. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
