Sad.

I was briefing EFATOs earlier this week and emphasised that you do not turn back. In a gliding turn you loose 500 ft doing a 180 degree turn. And end up pretty much over the same place, just pointing the other way.

If that was off 04, the choices for fields doesn't look that good, but turning back is worse.

(I just hope that this doesn't start any "the airport is dangerous and must shut" noises...)
