Emergency landing theoretical
Question for you guys: I fly out of Troutdale, Oregon (KTTD) which is at the mouth of the Columbia River Gorge. Because of sheer cliffs, tunnels, things like that, if I had to make an emergency landing in a single engine aircraft, in some stretches it would be treacherous or impossible to land on the road. As a boater, however, I'm familiar with the river charts and know that much of it is only 2 to 4 feet deep. So if I knew, reasonably, that I could ditch very shallow water, would that be a viable emergency landing plan as opposed to a winding and potentially busy freeway with a 700' cliff on one side? Different in high wing verses low wing? -c |
