Engine failure after take off requires a specific plan and ZERO hesitation to act on it!

This episode heavily leaned on debriefing with CloudAhoy which is clearly a very powerful tool.
It was recently acquired by ForeFlight and I suspect it will continue to be developed and updated.

I have been briefing that 800’ AGL would be my minimum altitude to consider a turn back after #enginefailure based on 100+ hours experience with the airplane, and having tested “the power off turn back” at a safe altitude with a simulated hard deck well above ground level; However, before this flight, I hadn’t actually tested it realistically.
The opportunity with Luke in town for Aerobatic competition preparation training was a great time to actually test the turn back with a super experienced instructor at the controls. I was able to watch and record it, to review and come up with my own formal process to handle the #emergency situation of a loss of power on climb out, in this specific airplane.

I’m heading to work with Luke again at Harv’s Air to do my multi IFR upgrade shortly (I’ve got the multi, and the single engine instrument rating, but not the multi engine instrument rating, so instead of doing an other single engine IPC (which I'm due for), I decided to challenge myself with the upgrade that supersedes an IPC :)

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:

I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial.
I have had my PPL for over 20 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience
I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve....
Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable.
I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.
Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
