Comment on "Your Engine Just Quit, Should You Land On A Road Or A Field?"
As for me, I'm more preferred the glide path and altitude where there's landable fields, since I'm hang glider for 15 years. Being hang glider pilot, I always establish both glide and altitude where I can land if I cannot find a lift. I guess this is a good habit for me.- With my 15 years of hang gliding, I'm trained to be flying within glide path of the landing zone. I'm doing the same thing with my trike.
