but you pay for it with glide range. The propeller will continue to windmill
and create a lot of drag, but with the engine out you have little choice --
your oil pressure will be zero. It makes sense when you consider that most

As long as there is oil in the engine, the oil system isn't
compromised, and the engine is windmilling oil pressure will remain
consistent with the rpm the engine is turning. The oil pump doesn't
care if it's being rotated by infernal combustion or by the wind
blowing through the prop.

Looked at a T-Arrow awhile back that fractured the turbo oil feed
fitting. Oil fire ignited, and was fed by the oil being pumped out of
the engine by the windmilling propeller until it ran out of oil.
Wasn't pretty, but the pilot walked away from it.

IMHO the rest of your info was right on the money.
