I must disagree. I won't detail what I think of this comment

2 points:
  • Only having one engine IS VERY relevant
  • A large jet, clean, will achieve in excess of 20:1 (3 degree)glide angle. A small GA SEP around 10:1 (6 degree)
I think the 2nd FACT alone is enough to completely debunk the rubbish above.
