Baloney. Have you even tried this? Let's say you have the plane
trimmed for an 85 kt climb. Now remove power. What happens? The nose will come down as the plane attempts to maintain 85 kts, all without any input from you. You have a lot more time than you think. I did not try engine fail practice in Cirrus. However, every pilot knows during initial climb out if engine fail, you have to lower the noise IMMEDIATELY ON ANY SEL AIRCRAFT. Countless such take off crash cases not limit to Cirrus. You can go to AOPA's Air Safety Foundation to read on the training material about how to do during take off engine fail. I believe while that SR-20 turned crosswind, he did not reach 800 feet AGL.... you have only seconds to choice a landing spot even if you lower the nose correctly. I don't understand what do you mean "a lot of time", basically, you don't have "a lot of time". That is also proved by the witness of the crash. (from engine quit to crash only took a few seconds). You probably did that 85 kt well-trimmed power loss in higher altitude (in a practice area). I don't think you did this in 500 feet AGL, didn't you? (otherwise you won't say you will have "plenty" of time). |
