Thank you all for the great answers.
I didn't say the prop stopped because of battery failure or starter failure.
It could be from too rich mixture or switching to an empty fuel tank.
I know, if you do something and the engine quits, turn the switch back
immediately.
Thanks again folks

I was just wondering if best glidespeed in say a cessna 152 will be fast
enough to
get the engine started if you encountered a battery failure or starter
failure.

Why would the prop stop in the air with a battery or starter failure?
