Let's say I'm on a Mc = 0 final glide in my ASW-27B. I cross the finish cylinder boundary at 500' and 60 knots (best L/D dry). I'm now 1 sm from the airport center. I fly at best L/D and reach the airfield with about 380' of altitude. This is about the same altitude I'd have if I'd crossed a finish gate at 100 knots and 50 feet then pulled up. If on the other hand I cross the cylinder at 150 knots and 500' I will reach the airfield at 50', still at 150 knots. After my pullup I will have something more than 900'. I know which scenario I prefer. What, exactly, is your point? This makes no sense... Marc
