Safety Altitude
I agree. Also consider making a final glide over a long string of freshly cut fields all the way to the airport vs. trees, rocks and cactus for the last 20 miles. You could safely fly to zero in the first case and maybe give yourself a couple thousand feet in the latter.
By using zero and then deciding on a per glide basis it's no longer a "no brainer", you need to put a little thought into what you want this time. -Tom On Monday, October 3, 2016 at 2:24:22 PM UTC-7, John Cochrane wrote: It's much easier to set them all to zero and then mentally say "I wont go unless I have 1000 over Mc 4" than it is to remember just what padding you put in the computer.
