When I did my PPL one hot summer day we were practicing forced approaches in a C 150. My instructor like go right down to around 100 ft AGL before calling for the overshoot. So there I am flaps 40 speed right on and in a good spot.

Go around he says, power up flaps up and nothing happens. The flaps had failed full down. My instructors took control and we were about 10 miles from the airport. The airplane would not climb and would just maintain height. We flew home at 100 ft with the instructor avoiding houses and power lines with very gentle turns.

After that hat the rule was no forced approaches below 500 ft AGL
