During a Tree Landing, what should be done with the visor?

During a Tree Landing, the recommended procedure for the visor is to lower it while keeping hands over the visor. This action is critical for protecting the pilot's face and eyes during the landing, which can potentially involve high levels of debris or vegetation. Lowering the visor provides a protective barrier against any branches, leaves, or other obstacles that might impact during the landing process.

Maintaining hands over the visor while it is lowered adds an extra layer of protection and ensures that there’s no unexpected lifting of the visor due to wind or sudden movements, which could compromise visibility and safety. This method strikes a balance between maximizing visibility from the cockpit and ensuring the safety of the pilot during an uncertain landing scenario, such as landing in the proximity of trees.

Other methods, like keeping the visor up for visibility or removing it entirely, would expose the pilot to unnecessary risk and decrease safety during landing. Thus, lowering the visor while ensuring it remains in place is the most effective procedure to adopt in such a situation.
