Aircraft; Manuals; Procedure
IFR departure; advised ATC upwind due to engine failure. I asked if he wanted to stay on my frequency and stay in the pattern to land. He said yes; so I issued him right traffic. I didn't solicit a cancellation of IFR; or ask if he could maintain terrain and obstruction clearance.
PDX Tower Controller reported an aircraft which lost an engine and returned to land flew below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude. The Controller did not solicit IFR cancellation or ensure the flight crew had terrain in sight.
