Topic:
A Significant Number of Fatalities Result from Unsuccessful Forced Landing Attempts.
Speaker(s):
Robert Breaux, Ph.D., CFII
Brief Description:
· Improved pilot knowledge of and proficiency in flying at best glide speed and configuration will increase the chances of a successful forced landing.
General aviation accidents have resulted from loss of control while maneuvering during emergency descents, approaches, and landings.
· The likelihood of executing successful forced landings can be improved through obtaining and maintaining Best Glide Speed or Minimum Sink Speed.
· Pilots should determine Best Glide and Minimum Sink Speeds for the aircraft they fly.
· Pilots should periodically train and practice to achieve and maintain proficiency in forced landings.
