Break-Outs
VFR Entry Point
Rules Of Thumb:
-If Configured, Climb Straight Ahead and Clean-Up like a Go-Around
-Once Climbing and Clean, Turn away from Conflict
-Call “Breaking Out” with Position to help avoid any conflicts with other Break Outs
-Maneuver to Fly Perpendicular away from Runway
-Maneuver to Fly over VFR Entry Point Parallel to and in Same Direction as Landing Runway

At Low Key altitude,
Set PCL to ~20%
4000’
“Turn / Climb / Clean” - Select NRST, point toward that runway and establish 125 KIAS glide.
NOTE: If that runway is then at or below the middle of the windscreen, sufficient altitude exists to glide there.
~3700’ AGL required
for Return to Low Key
Backwards Method -- Easiest Means to compare your energy state to a specific field.
2000’
(1) Distance to Nearest Field? NRST button.
(2) Minimum Altitude Required? Divide distance to field by 2.
(3) High Enough to get there? Compare no-wind glide altitude required to actual AGL.
(4) High Enough to get to High/Low Key? Compare no-wind glide altitude required + 3000/1500 to actual AGL.

If at medium or high altitude, you may have time to further assess your options:

(1) Max Glide Distance? AGL x 2.
(2) Fields within Glide Distance? NRST Button -- Compare Max Glide Distance to actual distance.
(3) Fields within Glide Distance to High/Low Key? Compare no-wind glide altitude required to actual AGL.
(4) Determine most Suitable Field (e.g., runway length).
NM from Departure End of Runway
Assumptions:
- 6000’ Runway (does NOT impact glide to Low Key for Landing Runway)
- 5o Glide Angle (negligible wind)
- 160 KIAS / 11o Climb Angle intercepted 1.0 NM from Brake Release at 300’ AGL
- Return to Land Opposite Direction: Turn back to Rwy and correct for misalignment requires 800' of Altitude
- Return to Low Key: 180o Turn back to Rwy and decel to 125 KIAS Glide results in 300’ loss of Altitude
