3.4 FORCED LANDINGS
Generally the flight path should always be chosen such that, in the event of an emergency, a
suitable landing field can be reached.
CAUTION
If, after a forced landing, the aircraft flips over, an emergency hammer can be used to break
through the canopy. For this purpose an emergency hammer is attached to back of the right
hand seat.
3.4.1 Precautionary Landing
NOTE
A precautionary landing occurs when the pilot decides to discontinue flight to avoid a situation
degrading into an emergency. This way the pilot has time to make decisions and choose an
adequate landing site or divert to an airfield. The procedure for a precautionary landing is
fundamentally the same as a normal landing, which is described in Section 4.
The choice of the landing field is here of particular importance.
Deteriorating weather is a leading cause of precautionary landings.
