Thank you for your feedback. I agree that it’s probably unlikely, but my fear makes me feel like it’s going to happen! So I’m trying to understand what can actually be done if it does.

From what I’ve gathered, once the aircraft is above 800–1,000 meters altitude, it can more or less turn back and consider returning to the runway. Below that, however, it becomes very critical.

Do pilots practice handling a total engine failure from rotation up to 300–400 meters altitude? Apart from attempting a landing as in the Korea crash?
