I can just hear the safety briefing for a forced landing, although more attention was paid to bailing out procedure. I assume a forced landing is relatively risk free, despite not being practised.

My daughter did comment that the prop looked wooden. Is that the case for modern props or it is some sort of composite?  Hopefully it can be repaired without too much cost. We have seen it quite a bit in recent weeks along with TE308.
