The correct definition of a safe forced landing is…
-
A
a voluntary landing on land or sea carried out by the crew in order to protect the aircraft and its occupants.
-
B
a landing on land or sea from which it is guaranteed no injuries will result to the occupants.
-
C
an unavoidable landing or ditching with a reasonable expectancy of no injuries to persons in the aircraft or on the surface.
-
D

Looking at the answer options:
a voluntary landing on land or sea carried out by the crew in order to protect the aircraft and its occupants --> INCORRECT. 'Voluntary' is incorrect, it is an unavoidable landing.
a landing on land or sea from which it is guaranteed no injuries will result to the occupants --> INCORRECT. 'Guaranteed' is not correct.
an unavoidable landing or ditching with a reasonable expectancy of no injuries to persons in the aircraft or on the surface --> CORRECT. Unavoidable = something that cannot be avoided
an inevitable landing on land or sea from which one may reasonably expect no injuries on board --> INCORRECT. Inevitable = predictable or cannot be avoided. An in-flight emergency requires a forced landing that usually cannot be predicted, thats why unavoidable is correct.
