Larry -

Thanks for putting a bunch of old interesting recollections into the 
framework it belongs: how to apply it to the airplanes we fly and are 
building now.

When the engine quits in an ES or LNC2, knowing how to do an SFO (and 
having practiced them) might well be the difference between making that 
field in the middle of nowhere or hitting the trees, ditches, etc. on the 
short or long side of it. What makes your message even more useful is the 
advice on getting to the right keys in the SFO regardless of altitude and 
airspeed when the engine does quit. It also is very helpful as an 
insurance policy when the engine's useful life is unknown, but you are 
nearing an airport that looks like you can make. Being right on the 
approach path and airspeed when it quits is not a healthy approach to an 
engine emergency.

Thanks again,

John
