Airtourer.....Glide....??....!!..??

They were not called the "concrete sparrow" for nothing, as opposed to the "plastic parrot" CT4.

I believe that a bad L/D makes glide approach easy as whatever you are looking at out the front in your 45 degree descent is where you are going, no ifs and buts. no matter about other choices of landing site, he done good to walk (run) away, that's all that counts. the moment the engine stops the insurance company now owns the plane, just look after your self, as this young guy did, well done mate, hope it's your last real one.
