Question: During a take-off, an aircraft experiences a sudden engine failure just after lifting off. What is the pilot's immediate priority?
Answer options: ✅ Attempt to return to the runway if possible, or land straight ahead if not.
- Contact air traffic control for instructions.
- Troubleshoot the engine issue immediately.
- Increase airspeed to try and regain engine power.
Correct answer: Attempt to return to the runway if possible, or land straight ahead if not.
Explanation: In an engine failure after takeoff, the primary immediate action is to maintain control of the aircraft and land safely. The pilot should attempt to return to the runway (if sufficient altitude/speed allows), or land straight ahead in a suitable area. 'Aviate, Navigate, Communicate' is the order of priority.
