KR> Turn back altitude - in a KR

[Dan Heath]

For KR Pilots about flying the KR, ONLY, please.  I am participating in the 
Flight Advisor" program.  One of the things that it asks you to think about
is the altitude at which it will be safe to turn back to the runway.  How
many feet do you loose during a 270 degree turn, and at what altitude do you
recommend as a go-nogo turn back altitude, AGL?

Thanks,

[Barry Kruyssen]

In my KR2, turn back 1 up is possible at 500' with no obstacles, 2 up I
wouldn't try it below 700', again with no obstacles.

Though this is all limited information because when you need to make that
discission there will be other facts that will influence your discission.

Having recently crashed in a paddock I may be "more" tempted to try and
return to the airfield. BUT knowing that most return to the airfield
discissions result in a crash I would only turn back if there were other
options, paddocks, in case I had miss judged it, otherwise I will take my
chances ahead, in a paddock at my airfield (I walked away from the last one,
so I am happy)

Hey Dan

Why not turn 90 degrees the other way and only lose1/3 as much.  :-)

Dan,
Like a couple others have said it will be on an individual  plane
and take off situation. I have looked at my climb and location on
virtually every take off. I don't believe that my altimeter is caught up
with my actual climb altitude, but for me at my home field 400' is my
absolute min altitude. At that altitude I am still over the approach end
of the runway overrun area. I would no doubt over run the far end of the
run way on it's 3000'. If I am below 400' on either direction of my home
airport I am most likely to be in the trees anyway going straight ahead..
