Impossible success by AOPA ePilot

They call it the impossible turn. It’s every pilot’s worst nightmare, the engine failing soon after takeoff. We’re all taught not to take the seemingly easy route out and turn back toward the airport. Instead, we’re supposed to land ahead, knowing that most airplanes and pilots can’t make the turn in less than 1,000 feet. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation examines the issue and presents an incredible video of one man’s attempt in the latest installment of the Real Pilot Stories series. More than 53,000 pilots have watched the video and learned why attempting the impossible turn is not a good idea. See for yourself!
