![]() The FAA does not require commercial pilots to train to ditch but airline cabin personnel must train on the evacuation process. General aviation has the highest accident and incident rate in aviation, with 16 deaths per million flight hours, compared to 0.74 deaths per million flight hours for commercial flights (North America and Europe). This classification includes small aircraft, e.g., training aircraft, airships, gliders, helicopters, and corporate aircraft, including business jets and other for-hire operations. General aviation includes all fields of aviation outside of military or scheduled (commercial) flights. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, there are about a dozen ditchings per year. ![]() While ditching is extremely uncommon in commercial passenger travel, small aircraft tend to ditch slightly more often because they usually have only one engine and their systems have fewer redundancies.

The Boeing CST-100 is designed to do likewise. Since 2020 the SpaceX Dragon has used water landings. The NASA Space Shuttle design was intended to land on a runway instead. Alighting over water rather than land made braking rockets unnecessary, but its disadvantages included difficult retrieval and the danger of drowning. The craft would parachute into the water, which acted as a cushion to bring the craft to a stop the impacts were violent but survivable. Įarly crewed spacecraft launched by the United States were designed to alight on water by the splashdown method. Furthermore, the necessary equipment compromises the craft's aerodynamic efficiency and speed. One disadvantage of water alighting is that it is dangerous in the presence of waves. The ability to loiter on water is also important for marine rescue operations and fire fighting. The availability of a long effective runway was historically important on lifting size restrictions on aircraft, and their freedom from constructed strips remains useful for transportation to lakes and other remote areas. Alighting can be supported by a hull-shaped fuselage and/or pontoons. Seaplanes, flying boats, and amphibious aircraft are designed to take off and alight on water.
