emergency landing

An emergency landing is a situation where an aircraft lands unexpectedly due to a critical issue that poses a risk to safety. This can occur for various reasons, including mechanical failures, medical emergencies onboard, or adverse weather conditions that make continued flight unsafe. The primary objective of an emergency landing is to ensure the safety of passengers and crew by bringing the aircraft down in a controlled manner, often at the nearest suitable airport or designated landing area. Pilots are trained to handle such situations, using emergency procedures to minimize risks and manage the landing as safely as possible.
