How do you chaps fly when you're in an area where there is no bail out option ie. untouched bushveld with narrow roads, plantations, mountains etc? Do you just not fly there because there's no place to land if need be, do you plan to limit time over "hostile" areas, or sometimes just say bugger it and fly over it? I ask because I'm based at Pyramid, Barberton now, but did my training in Witbank. Two very different areas to fly in i.t.o emergency landings! Now the only way out of the barberton valley is over mountainous areas, whichever way you look at it!
I'm a low hour pilot btw (+-35 hours), and wondering how to spread the wings without endangering myself/pax or my plane.
what would you do? Unplug headsets & safety belt, try stall her just above the water, jump & hope you don't bump your head against the passing prop / drown? From diving courses I've also learned that it's very difficult to swim with your shoes on, so it's probably a good idea to get those off as well unless you're worried about hypothermia
