I would imagine a water landing over still water would be best. Go as slow as you can while skimming over the water letting it slow you down and have emergency boats out there to quickly rescue passengers.
- Rooster61 7y agoA plane that size probably can't slow down to the point that water provides any more cushion than asphalt, especially with less control due to a bum engine. Plus, its MUCH harder to rescue everyone over water than surrounded by the resources of a major airport.
- TylerE 7y agoWater doesn't provide cushioning at any speed. It is, for all intents and purposes, incompressible.
- TylerE 7y agoAbsolutely not. A water landing is absolute worst case. So much harder to get first responders in. Plus drowning.
