A Great Technical How-To for Gliding. This book provides an excellent methodology for understanding and practicing the most critical emergency in general aviation, the engine out glide. While we all practiced them in our little training planes with light weight and not much performance, the author here gives you a much better perspective on what to expect with a high performance piston single engine airplane. The emphasis on military style training and terminology is quite helpful, as are the practice techniques the author provides. While we all hope it never happens, I believe that understanding and using the tools described in this book could really help in an emergency landing.

Interesting read. Heavy on dense jargon.. Some illustrations are unreadable, even if expanded. All use very small fonts. For example, the explanatory text is impossible to read without a powerful magnifying glass in Figure 24 from the USN. The text contains lots of unnecessary jargon lifted from the military. Lear text would enhance readability, particularly if the book is read a few pages at a sitting. Acronyms are overused throughout. The discussion of High, Low, and Base key is useful. After I got used to the ever present acronyms and jargon Nate's discussion of engine out approach profiles 'clean' and 'dirty' were interesting and useful. The discussion of current vs GTOW as it affects flight speeds was useful. I was unable to follow the statical basis for his no-replication Bonanza flight tests. Nates's discussion of off airport landing sites was, in my view, incomplete and lacked depth. There's a big difference in survivability between landings in mature forest, sapling forest, orchards, tall grass, and mature corn. His discussion of potential landing sites seemed heavily influenced by the likelihood of damage to the machine as opposed to survivability. I appreciated Nate's discussion of IMC engine out tactics. Not discussed were equally important tactics for night ops. Overall, the book is a good read with omissions and a few warts.
