land straght ahead, ploughed field, trees etc, land straight ahead
Ploughed field - OK, trees, maybe, industrial estate -
could be OK, but depends on roads, empty car parks etc, same with built up areas - 3:45 as the kids are all arriving home, maybe not such a great idea, same with ditching - calm summers day with loads of boats in sight, maybe OK, rough winters day, maybe not.
There are not many places I would advise a turnback, but if you
are flying from one of the few with no realistic options, IMHO it is good to know what you and your aircraft will do - turnback does NOT need to be to the runway by the way - 120 degrees or so might get you to decent fields, but whatever your options, they need preplanning and thinking out ahead of the T.O., and having practised at height you will at least have SOME idea how to go about it
without spinning in.
