gliding back to your departure airport

In the sim at Flight Safety, we did these type of turn at 45-60 degrees.

higher wing loading in the turn, a power-off descent rate of less than
100 fpm doesn't make sense for a 172. Which climb-out speed was he
using, Vx, Vy, or enroute climb? If he had enough extra speed, he
could have traded some of it for altitude, but that runs out pretty
fast.

well it worked. and I survived :-)

How about details? What was the entry airspeed and exit airspeed, and
how did he make the turn?


All the best,
