Engine failure on takeoff
The phases of flight are delineated to allow simplified standard procedures for different aircraft types to be developed.One of the biggest mistakes a pilot can make is attempting to turn around and return to the airport for an emergency landing.If altitude permits, this could be an option (i.e. if at or above 1,000 feet AGL) but most pilots are trained to avoid the obvious tendency to turn around and instead land the plane straight forward.Common first steps after an EFTO would be to fly at the best glide speed (VBG), retract flaps if airspeed permits, unlatch the door, and land straight ahead.In large airplanes e.g. commercial airliners, before the takeoff is commenced, the highest speed from which a safe stop can be achieved on the remaining runway is calculated.
