flaps sure, that will likely be the last thing electrical I will be
using. I dont think I will be worrying about radio on final.... unless
someone knows the frequency for god?

...or some clueless one starts to taxi onto the runway in front of you?
Also, your impromptu appearance in the pattern is liable to disrupt and/or
confuse other traffic. Yes, others will do whatever it takes to clear the way
for you, but far better to not give up the option of communication until you are
sure it will not be needed and/or can't help the situation.

So what do you do? Over the weekend, a Bonanza driver was faced with
this issue and had a 2000' grass strip to land on. He and his
passengers were injured and the airplane was an apparent writeoff.
I've been on that strip many many times but intentionally. Well, I've
been on many such strips worldwide.
So, what do you do?


Whatever needed to be done. Why did they crash? Land short? Long?
