Hi,
I was wondering if you might be able to help me identify the English for "PTU" or "Prise de terrain en U".
I have seen videos of this manoeuvre but have not been able to identify the correct English term. The text is explaining different stages of a flying competition and this particular section refers to aerial manoeuvres.
Any help will be gratefully received!
Emily

engine failure procedures
Both are emergency procedures for an engine failure or low power situation, the difference depending on whether you have enough altitude to make a full circuit (PTE) or not (PTU).
If there is no need to really distinguish between them, I would suggest just using the term "engine failure procedures" for the two combined
