"Montblack"
I wonder how much better (than the made up safety number 5:1) people will see up at 6,000 ft AGL. Are people getting book numbers, in their planes, when they go up and practice real world glides - from say 6k down to 3k? "Real world" is with the engine out. Prop stopped or creating drag by windmilling. (Little low? Just use a slightly more aggressive engine warming.)Which makes me wonder: What if someone, trying this (and it doesn't sound completely crazy), couldn't restart the engine? (And had a less than perfect landing...) Is it just the same as a glider making an off field landing accident? le moo
