I'll bite........
OK, Forkie.....
How far will a FTDK glide from FL170? [extending graph shows 32nm for M20j].
So you're on track YMMB -YWYY 184nm [approx 160nm over water] and a rod goes through the block at FL170 40 mins into the flight........you've all ready seen one shonky cylinder/ piston combination in that motor... the last 'top' OH may not have been any better.....the crankcase has a crack as long as your old fella........the big ends are probably shot........
You would have about 1/2 an hour to think about how cold and wet you will soon be .....and how far from land?
Me? Give me the good looking sheila serving the beers any day!
