Water Ditching
Water ditching is an emergency procedure used by pilots to land an aircraft on water. This technique is typically employed when an aircraft experiences a critical failure and cannot reach an airport. Pilots are trained to assess the situation and choose a suitable body of water for landing, aiming to minimize risks to passengers and crew.
During water ditching, pilots must consider factors like wind direction, water conditions, and the aircraft's speed. After landing, the crew and passengers are instructed to evacuate quickly using life vests and rafts, ensuring safety until rescue teams arrive.
