Treacherous Terrain

[AdamZ]

What is the most treacherous terrain that you have flown over? The kind of place where if the fan or fans stop the results upon re greeting the earth are not likely to be good.

Two that come to mind for me are West Virginia on the way to and back from Gastons. Nothing but peaks and steep valleys with rocks and trees. The second is actually on departure from KPNE, a class D surrounded by Brick Row homes and buildings.

The Florida everglades and the cumulo granite in South Western Montana seem like particularly undesirable places for the engine to crap out.

Macho Grande.

When I've flown over the Oregon Cascades, I've been surprised at how many survivable landing sites I saw.

I suppose if you include logging roads and clear-cut areas where nothing has grown back. Flying across the southern Oregon Cascades is quite scenic in an inverse proportion to the survivable landing sites I think.
