And the `elephant in the room is`...How can you be overhead an airfield with 6 runways at approx 2000ft,and end up a mile short of the airfield,with ,or without power...????
Do people not practice a PFL over or close to an airfield...?
A 20-30deg. banked turn is all that is needed,aiming for about 1/3 of a runway initially,flying at the correct speed,balanced turns and adjusting the aiming point to land by `S`turns,sideslips.....NEVER ,ever `turn your back` on the target and try to do a `straight-in` F/Landing.
And ,if crashing seems inevitable,then, crash under control....!!!
