Title:
Is Best Glide Speed - BEST?
Topic:
What Can We Do to achieve the best possible results for a safe landing when engine power goes on vacation?
Speaker(s):
Ron Berinstein
Brief Description:
A forced landing off field is probably not one of most pilot’s favorite thoughts, but if we are not prepared, we won’t have second chance! Most schools teach “Best Glide Speed” as a critical part of the survival equation; and well it is. However, is there more to the story? Is Best Glide always the Best answer?
Today, we’ll explore the factors you need to consider when making the decision to land off field with the expectation that no one will be injured. Upon thinking about it, THAT may be one of the MOST IMPORTANT goals any pilot can have!
Hopefully, everyone will discover something that will improve their own pilot skills and knowledge bank.
