The topic of the thread concerns the high risk of attempting to return to an
airport after losing all power after takeoff. It's hard to see how this would
be applicable to gliders, since they do not take off and they are not powered.


They certainly do take off, or how would they get into the air?

And they are powered by an engine at the end of a rope.
