Thanks for the additional advice. Good recommendation!
Much better than the old fighter pilot’s “watch this!”

Comment from the wild side: And if, like me, you want to figure it out for yourself, consider practicing aloft doing whatever you would do for an engine-out pattern and noting the
altitude loss, then you can move your practice gradually down to ground level.
PS -- I'm an instructor, but I've always liked to test my own theories and then bring my results to other experienced guys (mostly instructors) for confirmation/correction and greater
insight.

For those of you who have not practiced engine-out landings to a full stop, I encourage you to get a QUALIFIED instructor
or experienced Lancair co-pilot and practice this at a suitable runway. (3,000’ is not suitable for practice, just in case this is not obvious to all… J )
