If uninformed opinions were forbidden in cyberspace, you'd hear only the
crickets.

When uninformed, the rational thing to do is to either ask what the best
practices are or research them, not invent assertions and then draw
conclusions from said assertions.


When off topic, the rational thing to do is to return to the topic.

The topic here is attempting to turn back to the airport after a total engine
failure on take-off in a powered airplane.

The chirp of crickets over uninformed opinion would be better for everyone,
were it possible. But I'm sorry to read that you are being forbidden from
posting your uninformed opinions as if they were fact. When did this take
effect and is there any recourse?

Agreed. When an airplane loses power it is a glider and the rational topic
to discuss is how to fly gliders, not powered airplanes since the latter
are not applicable once the engine loses power.

The topic here is attempting to turn back to the airport after a total
engine failure on take-off in a powered airplane.


So is it your claim that an airplane that suffers engine failure does not
become a glider and should not be flown as such? If so, what do you think
it becomes and how should it be flown? Hopefully you aren't forbidden from
posting your uninformed opinion and can answer these questions!
