Practice your emergencies regularly!
I am reminded that we can fall behind in our emergency skills. Two friends of mine were flying together, and the engine failure they had did not end well. Between the two of them, I estimate their total flying experience would exceed 10,000 hours in GA aircraft. One of then I have known as a pilot for more than 30 years. I don't know which of them was actually flying, but whomever, tried a turn back after an EFATO. It ended poorly, they are both in hospital with fractured spines, and in a world of hurt. The plane, which was a showpiece, is very badly damaged. I know the airport well, it is surrounded with gently rolling crop fields, a forced landing ahead would probably be damage free fore that aircraft, if flown on well.
I have yet to speak to either of them, but did receive an update on their condition from another multi thousand hour pilot friend who also tried a turnback a few years back, and broke his back in the resulting accident.
I would never have expected any of these fellows to be involved in an accident, much less hurt themselves trying a turnback. I reminded myself to be more careful yesterday and today while flying, and I practiced a few power off landings to the surface, just to be sure (though I practice regularly anyway).
So keep your skills sharp, and recent! Regular forced landing practice to the surface!
