Another reader question... "When flying straight and level the
pilot of a single engine airplane experiences a total catastrophic
engine failure. Is that pilot better off (1) gaining altitude until
reaching the best glide speed, and then maintaining the best glide
speed until safely landing or (2) maintaining a level altitude
while decelerating to best glide speed and then maintaining best
glide speed until that safe landing?
“We want to see more people enjoying the thrill of
aviation and when people are using powerplants that they can trust,
they are more enthusiastic about sharing aviation experiences with
friends and loved ones.”

Aviation Supply, discussing the establishment of a new powerplant
instructional program and the effect it will have on the growing
LSA movement.
