MentorLIVE "The Possible Turn / Engine Failure After Take-Off - Airplane Singe Engine Land"
Wednesday, May 15, 2019, 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM EDT
Category: MentorLIVE

Until recently, conventional training and wisdom dictated that pilots should always land straight ahead when confronted by an engine failure that occurs shortly after takeoff. This controversial topic has been hotly debated since the early days of aviation to the point where turning around to land on the departure runway has been called “the impossible turn.” It can be argued convincingly, however, that there are instances when it would be safer to return to the airport than to land straight ahead following such an engine failure.

During this presentation, Brian Schiff will discuss the principles involved in returning to the airport safely. It will be based to a large extent on his father, Barry Schiff’s, decades of study and research involving this subject. To register visit http://www.mentorlive.site/program/20.html
