At TCX we have 2 types.
One is an engine out procedure, which is usually a basic 1500 agl left or right turn back to the beacon or overhead.
Second is a defined engine out procedure based on terrain.
My problem is, that most ATC units don't have a clue as to what we are going to do - SFB is a classic. I spoke with the senior there and explained what we would do ( 1500 agl, left turn back to the overhead). There was a long silence and the lady then said :-
' Sir, I would suggest that you do not do that at Sanford '.
So, what do we do ?
I guess ATC communication is the best way, coupled with good CRM and a weather eye out for what is practical on the day
