How did a turn back to the runway earn such a name as "The Impossible Turn"? In this video I simulate an engine failure at 500ft and attempt a turn back to the airport.
All pilots should know "A Possible Turnback" from An Impossible Turnback". I have a formula for small singles Turnback Maneuver. The 777 Turnback Rule. I taught aerobatics and 2 kinds of turnbacks in my 1990's CFI years. 4 kinds of EFATO and partial power too.
Great video Jason on the demonstration of the Impossible Turn. During my PPL training, I j
Thanks for the video and your thoughts on ‘the turn’. I fly a 172 out of a densely populated, urban area airport. I think about this turn a lot because I have no options straight ahead. It’s all homes, shopping malls, office buildings and densely congested city streets. There are no open roads, fields, lakes, etc. Landing straight ahead in an engine out scenario isn’t only certain death for me, but I’m taking some people on the ground out with me and that’s not a scenario I’m happy to accept. I train the turn back with an instructor. We train it at 700 AGL. The first 2 times I tried it, I would have ended up crashing into an abandoned hangar had it been a real event, but after that, I nailed it every time. I train it straight out and after I’ve turned crosswind. And I figure, even if I botch it, I’d rather crash land on a taxiway or other area on the field than into an office building off-airport. Below 500ft, yeah that’s just not possible in my aircraft.
Awesome work really thanks for taking the time to do this!
My flight instructor sent me here. Thank you for the video. :)
I learn a lot from your videos. You are very helpful. Thank you!
Great demonstration. I’m sure lots of students and others as well learned a lot.
A great video and very useful, thank you.
Great video lesson sir. Thank you.
Height is king with engine out. Wise lesson. Nicely done.
cool drone video on TO. didn't realize you could do that near an airport.
Good visual presentation of an important item/topic. 🍺
When I started watching this all I could think about was the nasty comment I was going to leave about you teaching a horrible thing - And then you didn't make the turn. Great lesson! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, thanks! great to visualize the turn in an actuall plane rather than just talking about it.
Great videos thank you.
Hi Jason, you could make a video explaining how does a pilot know when to descend otherwise the TOD.
At my flying club we practiced this turn at 500 feet in a c152 and be it the instructor or me we made it. By the time the turn is completed we still were around 100 feet and almost at the threshold. One important thing though is there is no kind of obstacle around the runway ( no trees )
I think a lot depends on experience and the type of aircraft you're flying. Some may be able to make it, some may not. It depends on experience, your aircraft and at what altitude the engine cuts out. Hope it never happens to anyone, I wouldn't wish it on any pilot but in the end, it's about survival, quick thinking and taking your best option at the time. If you're low and you've got a field that you think looks good to make an emergency landing, go for it. 30 degrees left/right could be perfect in that situation. Fly it to the end. In populated areas around your airport, even the grass surrounding your airfield might be the best option, if you can't make the runway. Usually there's plenty of flat land and grass around an airport but that also means attempting the impossible turn. It might be your only option. Just don't stall or spin the aircraft, that is certain doom. Know your aircraft capabilities, know your own capabilities and chose the best option so no one in the aircraft or on the ground gets hurt. Safe flying.
Great video...Thank you...
I like the straight out idea instead of turning back...
