Training and experience. It is an easy temptation to turn back to what is perceived as safe ground. ONLY repetitive training and practice will instil the mindset to not turn back. Engine failure at low level is indeed an extremely perilous situation. Sometimes circumstances are such that it just isn't going to end favourably. EFATO into scrub country greatly reduces the chance of survival. I have my heart in my mouth every time I take off in certain topography. My heart felt sympathy goes out to this bloke and his grieving family. :sad
