> it's called the impossible tear drop

Minor nit, I believe it’s called the teardrop go around for such cases. You also have the impossible turn which is meant typically for engine/power failure during takeoff, and it actually is possible to be safely done - as demonstrated by the former ALPA Air Safety Institute Senior VP Richard McSpadden in one of his YouTube videos.

However, it can be deceptively difficult to have the right conditions to pull it off - as demonstrated by the ironically fatal crash that killed Commander (Ret) McSpadden (though iirc it was not clear if he was flying the craft at the time).

(Edits made for clarity/content.)




Thank you for the clarification, I hoped I couched everything enough people knew I'm just reading internet and not at all an expert, I appreciate the reply!
