Given the big crease I see in the nose of the thing, not to mention the damage to the wingtip, I would call this a crash. A landing doesn't permanently damage the airplane. I doubt that poor thing will ever fly again. Folks can walk away from a crash.Another successful off airport emergency landing that some posters would insist was a crash.
Looks like the pilot did a good job, for engine out. The terrain did the damage.
It pretty much always does.Looks like the pilot did a good job, for engine out. The terrain did the damage.
Crash? I dunno. It'll be labelled as an accident in the database. But when a student is doing T&G's and ends up gooching one and collapses the nose gear, we call that a landing accident, not a crash. Why should it be any different just because it didn't happen a runway?
FYI: Location is not one of the defining points in how it is classified. The definitions are pretty straight forward.Why should it be any different just because it didn't happen a runway?
