If there's any problem once we're airborne and climbing, I will take control. If there's enough runway left, I will land there. Otherwise I will choose somewhere safe to land within about 30 deg of the runway heading"
The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has started flying training and is currently on the circuits phase. But not once has any form of take-off emergencies brief been given by the instructor. Which I find surprising.
As more experience is gained, I would expect the student to give the brief.
Well there is such a thing as overloading a student.
At some point the instructor is required to cover ‘Emergencies’ including EFATO.
