Well... *what are they*? The fatality stats are easy. How about the
non-fatals - the sucess stories.
Cos that's what I'm asking for: the FLWOP on t/o stats - sucessful vs
non-sucessful.
Well... MX is a troll, but he is right when he concludes that the
average pilot is too poorly trained to make a safe 180 after an engine
failure. The accidents are obvious.
If you claim that there have been as many successful 180, then it's up
to *you* to prove that.
It's always fascinating that people are so focused on MX being a troll
that they even refuse to accept his statements when he claims something
that is actually true. I hope your judgement as a pilot is better.
Please read a bit more carefully! (though I do note the thread has
changed a bit)...

I assume, as I'm sure most would, that most sucessful FLWOP on T/O are
ahead of the RWY (ie no turning back to the field). But regardless of
that, I also believe that the majority of FLWOP on T/O are sucessful
ones.
