At least it makes the math easy.
That 1:1 has to be something other than a
traditional glide ratio.

'xactly. didn't make sense to me either.

Oh well.

What I get from that article is not that the F-16 will only glide at 1:1,
but that the pilot "established a 1:1 glide ratio and dropped the nose to
capture my computed FO airspeed" at some point(s) along the approach as may
be required/suggested in the F-16 user's manual in the event of a flameout.
