No worries , Clowns , I was having a bad day( again).
Keen to hear views re 'turn back'.
Just an attempt to canvas poeples view.
Imagine a November evening , ( tide is in ), departing Runway 25 wind 260/15 at Blackpool.
A C172 engine fails at 500ft on climb out, 4 people on board.
What would people opt for :-
1) standard glide land straight ahead possibly landing in water
2) Turn back to airport ( Fire crews available)
Any thoughts on this would be good .
Back to the seminar , I believe the guy discussing turn back , would not tell anyone to shut up , but was keen to develop a discussion.
I am low hour part time FI(r) so are looking for help.
