I don't understand how you can pull a 180 from only 400' with no engine
power.

I did fly gliders for awhile. Then, after I'd acquired about 250 hours
asel,
during a BFR in a 182, we were at 400 feet on takeoff when my instructor
reached over and took the key out of the mag switch.

I turned 180 but not back to the runway (that would have been 270) and
landed on a taxiway.
