Operational procedures

Use the correct gliding speed and remember that in a headwind, you should

glide at a slightly higher speed, while in a tailwind, you should use a slightly

lower speed.

If the aircraft has retractable landing gear, it may be advantageous not to

extend it, especially if the area is soft, as there is a risk that the nosewheel will

sink, resulting in the aircraft tipping forward during rollout.

After landing

Once the emergency landing has been completed — and you are sure that the

aircraft's engine and systems are shut down — the aircraft should be evacuated.

Remember to secure the aircraft's documents.

- ATC unit

- Local police
- Civil aviation accident investigation board

Maybe this is not the
best situation to be

in!
But still, no injuries or

damage to the

aircraft.

However, the pilot's confidence has taken a hit, and it serves as a reminder to

be more careful next time!
