It illustrates aerodynamic penalties, reaction time constraints, turn radius calculations, and descent profiles that make turnbacks impractical at low altitude. The document emphasizes disciplined preflight checks and training to ensure survivable forward landings over hazardous reversals.</p> </div> </div> <!-- Individual Article View --> <div class="max-w-3xl mx-auto p-6"> <embed src="/Articles%202025/P-8740-44.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="800px" height="700px" class="rounded shadow" /> <div class="mt-6 border-t pt-4"> <h2 class="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-800">Citation (APA 7)</h2> <p class="text-sm mt-2">Federal Aviation Administration.
