Tried to do the ol' 180 back to the runway, even though there are several
open fields around the airport.
One really great thing about the Kiwi (see it he
http://alexisparkinn.com/flight_simulator.htm ) is that we've been
able to practice true "engine-out" emergencies.
As it turns out, these are quite different from the "engine-idle"
emergencies we all practice in "real life", and have proven to me that
trying to return to the airport at anything less than 600 AGL is dicey
indeed.
