As this forum is sub-headed LAA/BMAA/BGA/BPA it seems reasonable to suppose that most people here are not packing out in Lears and Citations but in more prosaic machines. Perhaps then we might improve the odds of making a successful turn-back if, on take off and having established the climb, we turn out sooner rather than later. That's not going to improve the odds in the early stage where landing ahead is probably the only survivable option but having turned out any turn back is now significantly reduced to maybe a 135° followed by a 45°.
