Under what situations would a plane need to make an emergency landing?
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.
