Default Lancair crash at SnF


Why two turns? At 500' why not one turn and land with wind up
derriere? And, at 500 ft I wouldn't be too worried about the radio.



When you turn back for the runway, you will not be lined up with it! Still
air, you have to turn in excess of 180 deg to get back on or near the RW
centerline and then, you need to make on in the opposite direction to line
up.
