There are actually more reasons than one would think that would make an emergency landing necessary. Bad weather can cause problems necessitating an emergency landing; hail and heavy rains can cause engine failure, ice forming on a plane in winter can force an emergency landing, and tornadoes and hurricanes can cause problems resulting in emergency landings in warmer weather. Medical and police emergencies can be a factor, as can mechanical problems with the plane itself. There has even been an instance, Samuel L. Jackson's movie aside, where a pilot had to make an emergency landing due to a snake on the plane. The pilot landed the plane after a passenger was bitten by a cobra he had smuggled on board.

Ditching is a highly challenging maneuver, and pilots are trained to handle such emergencies to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

What is landing gear and why does this important in aircraft maintenance?
The landing gear are the black things under an airplane that normal people call wheels. They let the plane roll to a stop without having to make a belly landing and damage the rest of the plane. In maintenance, it is important because of its critical function and the high stresses exerted on the landing gear.
