... 3. Spiraling down from 2 miles over the airport takes a LONG time! I tried to maintain a nice, easy 300 - 400 fpm descent, which meant circling the airport for twenty minutes in order to land! Consider what that means if your engine quits. You have a heck of along time to find a nice big field, and it can be miles away! I would think that, when circling over an airport, one wouldn't bother looking for a nice big field to land in, especially if it meant landing miles away. Pete
