5. There’s No Such Thing As A Water Landing
Pilots get trained in many emergency procedures, and that includes many different landing scenarios. However, what most pilots feel is that there really is no such thing as a water landing, it’s essentially just crashing into the body of water and hoping for the best. The best thing they can do is close any openings to slow water from entering the cabin and brace for impact. If the plane isn’t torn to shreds, there are only minutes before it fills with water and sinks. The outcome depends entirely on how much time there is between realizing the problem and acting out the best solution.
