"roljoe: you don't fly an angle, you fly a speed with a jet in a glide condition.."

From EMERGENCY/ABNORMAL PROCEDURES Citation I/ISP Revision 1 sep 1996

Tab 10A MAXIMUM GLIDE-EMERGENCY LANDING

"Maximun Glide Speed........AOA .35"

Then speeds: flap 0
7,500 114
8,500 120
9,500 126
10,500 132
11,350 137
11,850 140

VREF......... AOA .6"

"AOA" Angle of Attack is displayed on a gauge above the electrical panel to the top left of the P1 panel " (can't find a picture) but there is a triangle at .35 AOA for best Climb/Glide. There is also a slow(Red "^")/On speed (Green "O")/fast indicator (Amber down cheveron) available only to the P1 for "normal approaches" above the panel, displayed by lights.

The AAIB in S02/2008 state " The aircraft then manoeuvred to overhead the airfield at approximately 1,200 ft aal"
