As pilots, we train for emergencies that may lead to making an unexpected landing in and unexpected place. With sharp skills, good flight planning, a positive attitude, and a little luck, we make a survivable landing in a place that may be very remote. The next question is, what do you do next?
So you have done your job as a pilot and prepared for the worst by staying proficient in power-off landings, having a well thought out survival kit, and learning some basic survival skills. Good preparation, involves a bit more when the landing choices are less than ideal.
As pilots, we are trained to overcome adversity in the cockpit. However, best efforts in the cockpit sometimes result in an off field landing over remote or inhospitable terrain. Once on the ground, the most pressing issue becomes a swift rescue - and reliable technology.
