Landing Guidance
Land as Soon as Practicable
Extended flight is not recommended and the pilot should proceed to land
the plane, but not necessarily at the first or closest landing location. The
landing location and duration of flight remains at the discretion of the pilot
in command, after considering all factors related to the safety of the flight.
For example, landing may be deferred to an airfield which could provide
post-landing maintenance procedures or malfunction investigation. The
choice of airfield may be determined by the pilot with consideration to
weather, runway dimensions, surface conditions, and services available.
However, in no case shall a suitable landing airfield be discounted in the
name of convenience.
Land as Soon as Possible
Land without delay at the first site at which a safe landing can be made.
Continued flight beyond an available airfield at which a safe landing can be
made will result in increased risk and shall not be attempted. The nearest
suitable landing site shall be determined by the pilot with consideration
given to weather, surface dimensions and conditions, and pilot experience.
