Incidently Dash,
WRT to your post 48 being some sort of silver bullet, I personally would not be in a single engine IFR turbine aircraft operating in low capacity RPT, in IMC, descending through 4,000ft at circa 20nm from the aerodrome.
When I did my C208 endorsement at Flight Safety in Wichita, they quoted some where in the ballpark of 2.5nm distance over ground to 1,000ft of glide.
Sorry justinga, my clown suit, red wig and big floppy shoes are at the dry cleaners.
