Emergency landing theoretical
wrote
The other day I saw an amazing Video on the internet
of a landing (really, no cras) on a tiny "gravel bar"
on a river by skipping across the water for a bit
first.
I have tried to find it again but I can not at present.
I seem to recall that it was s Super Cub on tundra tyres.
This seems the kit to have.
This would be the kit to have, if the flying you want to do, involves
landing on a gravel bar. This is because that is the very best, if not
only, place there is to land.
Where I live, I would be hard pressed to find a suitable river, with a
suitable gravel bar. There are tons of other options for better places to
land, however.
With all of this in mind, if this is the kind of flying you want to do, be
prepared to gain much, much experience, and skill.
The skipping-water-gravel bar-landing is a maneuver for a very experienced
pilot, but I hope you already know that.
