Dead Stick

Dang, I wonder what the measured glide is on an F-16? : - @ [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] At least it makes the math easy. That 1:1 has to be something other than a traditional glide ratio. Matt 'xactly. didn't make sense to me either. Oh well. -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200808/1 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.
