[C182 In Flight]
``Vanna: We are in level flight. I am conscious of panic tactics, and if you have to ditch. We have a land camera in the Saucer, but that is all. SCANDA will help find a place with few obstacles. If your thrusters failed, you may have engines. However if you are at 200 metres above the ground, what do you do? At least in the C182 we have all round vision. See that nice big field over there? ``Tajo: Zaa. ``Vanna: We do our lookout checks and call up mayday. Now get us into that field. 'Engine failed' Noise down to maintain speed.
