(NOTE: If visual with the runway and it is then at or below the middle of the windscreen, you possess sufficient altitude to glide to it – no need to do Math) 4000’ ~3700’ AGL required to turn 180o and return to Low Key Second – “Check” – Apply Engine Failure or other applicable BOLDFACE or critical procedures. Third – Second - Apply Math: 3000’ Backwards Method -- Easiest Means to compare your energy state to a specific field.

NRST button. Tgt Alt =~300’+500’=800’ Tgt Alt = Fld Elev + 500’ for Straight-In ELP. Distance = 10 NM (2) Minimum No-Wind Glide Altitude Required? = Distance/2 + Target Altitude. 10/2 + 800’ = 5800’ (3) High Enough to get there? Compare Aircraft MSL to No-Wind Glide Altitude Required. MSL > 5800’? (4) High Enough to get to Low/High Key? Compare Aircraft MSL to No-Wind Glide Altitude Required to Low/High Key Tgt Altitudes - Is Acft MSL > 1800’+ Distance/2? – or – Is Acft MSL > 3300’ + Distance /2? - 6000’ Runway (does NOT impact glide to Low Key for Landing Runway) - 5o Glide Angle (negligible wind) - 160 KIAS / 11o Climb Angle intercepted 1.0 NM from Brake Release at 300’ AGL - Return to Land Opposite Direction: Turn back to Rwy and correct for misalignment requires 800' loss of Altitude - Return to Low Key: 180o Turn back to Rwy and decel to 125 KIAS Glide requires 300’ loss of Altitude Frontwards Method -- Easiest Means to compare your energy state to more than one field. 3 (1) Max Glide Distance? AGL x 2. (2) Fields within Glide Distance? NRST Button -- Compare Max Glide Distance to actual distance. (3) Fields within Glide Distance to High/Low Key? Compare no-wind glide altitude required to aircraft AGL. (4) Determine most Suitable Field (e.g., runway length). Rasta – Mar 07
