Re: Beech Crashes on Railroad track

With respect, while I've always heard that (have a forced landing site picked out, constantly), I think it's pointless advice. It isn't practical, it isn't how our brains work, and it'd take a lot of brain cycles away from useful pursuits.

I agree that there's a resource tradeoff. So yes, perhaps we can't always have a site picked out; but we can have a site picked out whenever a higher-priority task doesn't prevent us from doing so.

And in any event, the task addressed here was just having a chart already folded to the right location. That takes almost no brain cycles.
