kgwilson Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 EFATO and stall at under 300 feet. Guaranteed crash, usually fatal as it was in this case. Shame they took out someone on the ground as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscotthendry Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Some time ago, a group of fairly highly skilled and trained aviators did an experiment on “The impossible turn” back to the runway after an EFATO. The planes they tested could do it from 500’ AGL or so, all but the Bonanza. No matter what height they tried it at with the Bonanza, it never made it even close to the runway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 This is the vid us AOPA made. It shows their head of safety doing the turn back in his super cub with the stall warning going off. Not good form from someone making a supposed safety video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Conclusion. Don't turn back. These were all highly skilled and trained pilots. A good comparison would have been to find 3 pilots with normal flying skills who have never tried or practiced turnbacks & checked the results. The risk though would have been a stall/turn & crash. If not I doubt that any except the cub would have made it & they were all from 1000 feet. The cub was from 300 feet twice & 500 feet once & the stall warning was going off most of the time. He made it due to his expertise but the stall warning should have invalidated the test IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightrite Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 They also don’t mention other added stresses. Violent engine failure with associated noise and oil spraying everywhere! hysterical passenger especially sitting next to you! The only other thing that should be mentioned is that the need to get back on the RWY should NOT be the priority, the whole airfield should be clear enough to make an emergency landing!
