will lighten your workload.
Best Place to Land
Immediately find an airport or other landing spot within
gliding distance and turn toward that spot. Consider
the factors associated with landing on roads, fields,
water, trees, etc. (Review Chapter 18 of the AFH for more
information.) Use the Nearest page on the GPS, use
ForeFlight’s Glide Advisor, and remember the rule of thumb
for glide distance: 1000 ft = 1.5 miles.
