In light of a recent loss of a very good friend, I got to thinking about how to properly crash land a small GA single. Obviously, we teach to remove headsets, slide chairs back, stow anything that could be a projectile, open the doors, and check seat belts.
My friend however, died of head trauma yet two others lived after a power loss in mid flight.
My question begs, is the typical brace for impact position appropriate for GA aircraft and emergency situations? Has anyone read any data or articles about such a possibility? I personally want to incorporate this into the way I teach and fly.
