Why would he be in trouble? He is allowed to land anywhere in an emergency! Though you would at least be questioned if you landed in a restricted area, though I think you would be OK if you could prove you were outside of the restricted area when the emergency happened. I never had an emergency, though I have had friends and acquaintances who have. It has been just over 12 years since flying full scale, sigh....well maybe after the kids get through college.
