Cloudbreak is an emergency proceedure for engine out / power loss ops used by RFDS (in PC12). There is no specific plate.
Also a lot of fun (although nerve wracking) in training, not sure if I'd be that keen to do it for real
Lot's of fun, sure. Just like lots of fun practicing engine failure turn-backs by the RFDS in the PC12 which is part of their emergency training. It is a good bet the bloke that introduced that dangerous habit is a former RAAF instructor on the PC9. The turn back manouvre in training killed four pilots in the RAAF until it was banned 25 years ago. Obviously that has been forgotten?
