Technically this all has to do with the circumstance and the conditions. For the most part it is safer to "crash" or "crash-land" an aircraft on land. At the velocity of flight water is just as dense and hard as concrete and can do considerable damage to an aircraft structure. Water can be preconceived to be the safer option because it is much more open and flat. However, water is unpredictable and unstable, there can be waves, differing depths, other invisible or submerged threats. If a successful water landing is achieved then there is still the issue of sinking, cold water, being stranded.
It is safer and easier to control the variable in a land crash scenario.
What else can I help you with?
Can planes go underwater if they crash?
well it depends were they land and if they land near water then it could crash in the water
Do planes land into the wind?
They can, yes. It's a bit safer to land in the wind than landing with a tail-wind. A pilot can also land an airplane with a cross-wind.
What cartoon had a yellow airplane that could land on water?
TailSpin
What is a machine that can land on ground and water?
That'd be an amphibious airplane
If the brakes of the plane fail will the plane fly?
If the brakes are jammed in the STOP position, the airplane will slow and eventually stop and have to land/crash/ditch. If they are jammed in the normal position, the airplane can still fly.
What breaks on water but not on land?
The answer is "waves." Waves break on the surface of water, causing them to crash and break, but this does not occur on land.
Can an aeroplane land on water?
yes, planes can land on water but only if a crash landing is neede in a city with a big river or in the middle of the ocean
Can an airplane that lands on water land on ground?
Amphibious airplanes can take off and land on water or land. They are fixed-wing seaplanes that are equipped with retractable wheels.Amphibious helicopters are modified helicopters that can take off and land on either water or land. They are invaluable for rescue work on the water.
Is a hovercraft like an airplane?
No, a hovercraft is not an airplane. a hovercraft is a craft capable of moving over water or land on a cushion of air created by jet engines.
What would you see if you were in an airplane flying over Europe?
land water green and blue stuff
How do you land the plane when the engine fails?
Airplanes do not just drop out of the sky and crash when an engine fails. The airplane WILL come down, but the pilot still has control and the airplane can glide for some distance before it has to touch down. If there is an open field or relatively smooth place where the pilot can put his aircraft down, it may be possible to land the airplane safely and without injuring passengers or people on the ground.
