Emergency Landing

An emergency landing is a controlled landing performed when an aircraft must land unexpectedly due to a critical issue, such as mechanical failure, prioritization of safety, or other urgent reasons. Pilots assess the situation and select a safe location—like an airport or open area—to bring the plane down smoothly. This process minimizes risk to passengers, crew, and people on the ground, aiming to handle the emergency efficiently while maintaining control of the aircraft. Emergency landings are rare but carefully planned to ensure safety under urgent circumstances.
