I bet you lot where just waiting with bait in hand for CW to step up to the plate & say.............SE
Genuine Q here rcoight. If yr at 1000ft gear flap out having come down from 1500' say min speed (so no excess energy) due to a slow moving C150 ahead of you, yr 3 miles from the thresshold 'cause you went slightly further out to accomodate that slow jo & there's a 35 kt H/W component down the rwy, would you be able to glide to the strip if the noise stopped remembering yr dirty? Think carefully the B200 glides at best glide speed (135kts) clean 2 nm nil wind per 1000ft loss, I'd make it 'cause I have a spare engine with me, you? I can just see the nutters out there getting ready to fire up but this is a direct genuine Q to 'rcoight' It's mainly based on 1500' would be the min for a SE plane I reckon.
