I saw the pylons waaaaay before I was close to the field, I was way above them when I initiated a go-around, like i stated earlier the whole thing just made me think about it a bit more, the pylons were more than ½ way into the field so even if i had a real engine failure I would have landed way before them and under them.
And as per the 500ft rule, there was no houses, roads, people, cows, sheep, barns, this was in the middle of Beautiful England, and certainly no lower a PFL that I executed on my GFT
Thanks for your comments guys anyway, its always good to discuss things like this hopefully to make us a better pilot/more aware etc etc.
