Performance
Glide
The glide is defined as unpowered rightened flight at speed providing best lift over drag ratio or
minimum sink rate.
Should the engine become inoperative in flight, as a result of either intended or unintended action,
and it cannot be restarted, react as follows:
establish rightened flight at the speed providing best lift over drag ratio, if you desire to over-
come greatest distance at reach from initial altitude.
establish rightened flight at speed providing minimum sink rate, if you desire do stay airborne
the longest. This may come in handy in case you will be forced to give way to other aircraft or if you
simply need time to determine the most appropriate site to land out on.

Landing performance
Landing runway length may vary depending on the elevation, gross weight, touchdown velocity,
wind direction and how aggressive the braking action is. With an airport elevation 100 meters
and wind calm, the landing runs are as follows:

When the engine fails, especially in climb, the aircraft always loses some 30 meters
