LW50, it makes sense, either turn back and land immediately at lower altitudes or forget about that option. Also make sure you can do it. I have seen the other result with a vertical plunge into the ground with my own eyes at Burbank with a Bonanza losing an engine and trying to rudder back for a landing going straight in with 4 people. I taught cross control stalls as a flight instructor to prevent this type of accident.
