Flying that speed accurately is valuable but perhaps not as valuable as

Several experts (people like Barry Schiff) claim that the best speed to
use is
actually a speed which will keep you in the air longest. That gives you
the most
time to attempt a restart and use the radio. The only time you should use
best
glide is when you actually need to in order to reach a suitable spot to
land.


Wont the best glide speed also keep you in the air the longest? if not what
speed will?
