Many thanks for your input, it certainly has got the brain working.
Unfortunately I am only a PPL holder at the moment, though as part of our course we are covering APTL theory, hence i do have a reasonable depth of knowledge about key areas regarding the subject.
What if you were:
1 In a single engine aircraft and suffer an engine failure over sea at 900ft agl?
2 Where in a twin piston engine aircraft, or rather one whereby full thrust on the remaining engine is not an option due to the couple setup by loss of an engine?
Further more, how many pilots (and please be has honest as you can here), actually admit to fully going through a "what if.." stage before takeoff?
Any thoughts chaps and chapesses?
