To be honest, it was 25 years ago, before I had the wisdom I have now. I remember practicing all day, while maintaining the most ideal conditions to enter a glide. I recall making the best of the crosswind. A lot of the success of the low altitude entry is the willingness to finish the alignment to the runway turn while in the flare. My 150 has a STOL kit which is a little reassuring with hard maneuvering close to the ground.
Other factors necessary for success have been touched on in this thread, and I proved them to myself that day, though honestly, I have no intention of repeating them for myself, and certainly no intention of promoting them here as a good idea. I've done a lot of things in planes which worked, but probably should not have. I'm getting close to old, so it's time for me to not do dumb things in planes any more, I know better! A turnback is a dumb thing to attempt in an airplane.
