I have to disagree with the above statement. At some point you have to commit your aircraft to the instructions of the air traffic controller as to when and where to land. You WILL reach a point of no return, if those instructions weren't clear or in error, it's gonna hit the fan no matter how good or what kind of pilot you are. If it hits the fan to late in the game and there is no safe place to land, your choice of what to do RIGHT NOW, this instant, are severly limited.
