Not saying it would overcome the ‘startle effect’, but just asking yourself ‘where would I put it?’ if something happened now, may help. While doing so think about the configuration(gear up?) then remind yourself the insurance Co has it now.

Of course night or IMC options are different & more limited. I’ve not had to glide in anywhere. The closest I’ve done is nurse a sick engine to a landing.

My take is very survivable but violent stop.

The descent through the approximately 6-foot-high corn was very noisy and short-lived as it provided rapid deceleration, as anticipated, and we impacted nose high, wings level, very firmly, and stopped almost immediately, skewing about 30 to 40 degrees left just as we stopped. Even with my experience flying from aircraft carriers, that touchdown and deceleration is at least tied for the most violent arrestment I’ve experienced. My inertia reel lap belts and shoulder harness were wonderful.

Never Again: Into the corn

I was on a local pleasure flight in my Bellanca Cruisair, taking off from Twin County Airport (HLX) in Hillsville, Virginia. My friend Daniel, a student pilot, was in the right seat; I was the pilot in command. I planned to take off from Runway 19 and make a large, sweeping right turn to return...

CTK is about 9 miles earlier on the flight path....and their fuel price is relatively low, too.
