Netters, I posted the message below two years ago on the Corvair site. Today the AOPA has posted a similar discussion. Good information..
http://www.aopa.org/training/articles/2011/110519impossible_turn_practice.html?WT.mc_id=110520epilot&WT.mc_sect=tts (I do not know if a login is required) from2009.... For Anyone Interested, I found this about a year ago, it's is posted on the Lancair list. The subject line explains it all. The audio starts about 45 seconds in and it's almost 13 min. long. http://www.aerobats.com/seminar_02-07.html I'm not suggesting or presuming that anyone knows how or not how to make an engine out return to the airport with a landing. I am not going to look anything up for you and I only post the link for your education and knowledge and I'm not suggesting that you aren't educated and knowledgeable. Yes I know it's a 172 and I know that many/some/most of the readers here don't have one or use one. I have had an engine failure in a 182 at about 200-300 feet after takeoff and landed off airport without a scratch. That does not make me an authority. Your mileage may vary. Kevin --
