Additionally, if a pilot loses control, there is often little time to recover due to the plane’s lower altitude and speed.
The experts also highlighted the challenges of flying over urban areas, where open landing spots are limited in the event of an emergency. Many single-engine planes lack the capability to glide for extended distances without power, making it challenging to find a safe landing site.
