A few months ago, on a VFR flight, I had an engine failure and had
to put the plane (a cessna 152) down in a field. Fortunately I was able
to find a suitable field and land safely. Earlier in the flight however,
I had been flying over a pine forest. I wonder what would have happened
if I had lost power over the forest (where there were no clearings at all).
I dont believe that I was ever told "how to land in a pine forest"
Has anyone out there done this and survived? What is the accepted wisdom?
