Imagine you’ve just lifted off.

You’re passing 200 feet. Everything feels normal.

not failure…
just a rough, struggling loss of power.

Land ahead?

In the next few seconds, the wrong decision can be fatal.

Today we’re talking about the emergency we train for the least…
yet one that catches pilots off guard more than almost any other.
