BruceLee Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 This type of accident is so common that it has a name; "The Impossible Turn" "On takeoff, in the event of an engine failure with insufficient runway remaining, we will land straight ahead making only small corrections to avoid obstacles" "In the event of an engine failure the first thing the pilot should be thinking about is a wing stall" And one I read here; "Below 100 Kts, fly angle of attack" Quote
