An allegation that a particular landing was such an emergency landing shall be an affirmative defense to a prosecution for a violation of the provisions of this Chapter and the person making such defense must establish by clear and convincing evidence (i) that such landing was necessitated by one of the aforesaid conditions, and (ii) that the person making such landing did not willfully cause the condition making such emergency landing necessary.
