G'day Megan,
My comment to Sheepy (who used to fly Vampires I understand) was that the turn back procedure in a PC12 is a lot simpler than that that pic you outlined above. No converting speed to height. The PC12 just glides amazingly well.
When we did my endorsement, out in the training area the checkie told me to pick a spot for a forced landing. I picked what I thought was the only likely spot -far from perfect but survivable - using my judgement of radius from piston singles. He asked why I didn't pick that nice big open salt pan way over there. "Um, because we won't make it..." was my reply. With a wry grin, he said yes we will, point her that way. We made it.
