Several years ago there was a live safety seminar featuring a video of a MS Flight Simulator recreation of a Cessna 172 taking off from the Toronto City Centre Airport and suffering an engine failure while over the water. The video had several scenarios and outcomes depicted.
Anyone remember the name of that seminar or where to find that video online?
I went up with a CFI this morning in a C182 and I tried it using a simulated runway at a high altitude. We "failed" the engine at 800 feet above simulated ground altitude. I pushed the nose down sharply and tried about 60 degrees of bank which got us turned around fast, but with only 200 feet to spare (depending on distance from the runway that might not be enough). I want to send the CFI a link to the video since he hasn't seen it and I can't remember what the video said about glide speed during the turn.
