Engine Failure and Emergency Landing
Asked by: Dawodu-A 3439 views General Aviation, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
In an event of an engine failure, does your high key point and low key point turn have to be in the same direction? Scenario: I'm at 4,000ft and i'm simulating engine failures with my instructor. I get my glide speed going and I locate a grass field 1/4 mile ahead at 3 o clock, i've gone through my checklist and completed everything and now i'm now descending in a high key point left turn and at 600ft I notice I can make a right base for the grass field and if i continue that left turn i may not make it around for the field. Is it right for me to change my direction of turn and turn right for the field? Please help. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
