The approach is rapidly descending terrain plus 1,300' is nothing in terms of a fuel emergency allowance to allow you to glide to a field, this area is quite densely populated. It is a serious place to fly and there have been attempts to outlaw experimentals there using the densely populated environment as the reason for the ban.drseti wrote:My guess is that he meant he was 3500 MSL over the airfield (which is 1300 AGL), and so well clear of the Bravo.
He doesn't have a reading issue, 1,300' AGL is what Paul said. Be nice.CTLSi wrote:You have a reading issue. READ IT AGAIN. We were 4400 feet AGL... yes, you can glide the CTLS 4 mi from that height.FlyingForFun wrote:Nope, he can't glide 4 miles from 1300 feet.
Now I'm confused. Your earlier post said:CTLSi wrote:You have a reading issue. READ IT AGAIN. We were 4400 feet AGL... yes, you can glide the CTLS 4 mi from that height.
Maybe I have a reading issue too.CTLSi wrote: a slipped landing from 3k feet over the runway. The extra height allowed for a possible engine out glide landing.
I would hope that we wouldn't judge each other on this forum, but rather would strive to learn from each other. That said, the best way to promote such learning is through total transparency. If CTLSi is owning up to a lapse in judgment, he is to be commended, and we can all learn from that. If he is maintaining the appropriateness of a decision that others find questionable, he can maybe learn from that. Either way, someone's going to benefit from this discussion.FlyingForFun wrote: we don't know who we are talking with. <snip> if you would tell us about yourself, we would have a frame of reference for your opinions and advice.
He has made very clear that he does not consider this a judgment problem, but rather a problem with an equipment deficiency of his aircraft (e.g. sight tubes) that he wants others to be aware of. I'm not seeing much learning going on here.drseti wrote:I would hope that we wouldn't judge each other on this forum, but rather would strive to learn from each other.
