We program (or choose) the glide ratio into the LIMITS.TXT file that controls the dynamic display showing reachable airports if an engine out occurs. Having thought on this subject earlier, I have programmed a VERY conservative glide ratio (subject to edits once flight test is complete) smaller than the recommended value. In this case, BIGGER is not necessarily better. One question (which will be lifted from the data recorder of the Chelton) will be what was the programmed glide ratio. I hope we hear about this (sooner than later). >Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 09:55:54 -0400 >From: MikeEasley@aol.com >I noticed his panel had a Chelton.
