Or, stop doing PEFETOs and just mandate a height/speed criteria below which one flies straight ahead only and above which low key is a certainty?
Surely not! We keep 'dumbing down' every time we have an accident. I'm not convinced that R3 ever had the energy to effectively complete his heavyweight glide cct. Ironic that R3 clearly had ample energy to complete a traditional Turnback (i.e. jink left then reverse right) onto the reciprocal rwy 13, or simply a teardrop to the right onto rwy 01. I'm guessing the practice of these was progressively banned following accidents. I'm sure that when I was a stude a Valley in the 80s we would practice these, although briefed to eject rather than attempt them when solo.
