Thruster88 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The 40 knot stall speed of the 172 is a big plus when things go bad.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Maybe "risk of"? (Fuel leaking). With even minor structural damage and in those circumstances turn off all electrical items (Master switch) Should actually be done before hitting the trees. Use mobile in preference to aircraft radio. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I could think of nothing worse, than being stuck up in the sky for hours on end, unable to get down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I could think of nothing worse, than being stuck up in the sky for hours on end, unable to get down! Dead or injured is probably worse....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 I suspect being stuck down in a submarine would be worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
