No! I meant circling to land, not bringing it straight back down (surely even the longest runway would not be long enough). Sorry if this was not made clear.
BOAC and Background Noise: thank you very much for the explanation and video. Once again, youtube proves itself. Is that official airport footage?
If I can squeeze in a second question: would the autopilot be any help with this emergency or does it really require immediate intervention from the pilots?
PS If it fails before V2, is that still really not a problem?
