Do you land WITH traffic or AGAINST traffic (let's assume it is light to light-moderate)? In the article posted above the video shows one successful emergency landing while flying with the flow of traffic. Who has opinions on this? Please share!

Definitely WITH traffic. Nothing like a textbook power-off approach and touchdown just in time to be killed in a head-on collision with a car. In all seriousness, IF I had the choice, I would probably land with traffic. We all know that its never
our choice when something like this happens. I always teach my students the rules of three: Aviate, navigate, communicate, and trim, Trim, TRIM!
