Gliding with the prop stopped

[CanAmdelta1]

Pilot DAR,

Thanks for sharing the info. I would have thought an improvement
in glide would have been seen in a stopped prop vs. idle power or windmilling.

I find I can get about 650 fpm glide in a 152 with drooped tips, 3/4 fuel and little or no wind. I had always hoped for somewhat better glide if an actual engine stoppage occured while using a 152.

I realize there are subtle differences between the 150 & 152 but now I will not anticipate/expect much difference in what I am currently seeing in FPM loss at best glide.

Thanks
