If you have an engine failure you land in the best possible place, open or shut.
A few years ago a Piper Malibu ran out of fuel at 12000' over Yeovilton . The pilot tried to glide to Bournemouth and crash landed about 9 miles short of the runway, in Lytchett Matravers.
Best of luck weatherwise for your first lesson. It will probably be excellent as we will have started our annual Permit work.
