Touchdown! Greaser!
Everyone has heard of the motorist law (I think there is one in most states, no?)
Is there such a thing for aviators?
We had one yesterday.
Some say pilot was obliged to stay (he departed).
The thought that pops is maybe such a pilot is avoiding screening for alcohol or drugs.
However, maybe there is a valid reason; 'Not sure why I left, I was in shock'......or leaving the area would help ensure you don't say anything stupid which really did not need to be said.
Honestly if your a/c is a crumpled mess, there is nothing most pilots/owners can do to clear the runway; who has a crane or bags in their hangar - the airport authority is going to be stuck with that problem.
Maybe it is best to take immediate measures to ensure the safety of others (notify airport auth, get on the radio) then disappear to gather your thoughts or call your attorney.
Maybe Patrick Sw. can weigh in.
