>2. This exercise altered my thinking about power failures on takeoff or =

approach - First, pull back the prop, establish best glide speed =

.........etc.<

The engine out procedure for a 320/360 should be:
Fly the Aircraft (Don't stall like 8+ Lancair guys did since 2000 - all
fatal)
Do not hurry
Read the checklist
1. Establish the best glide
      TRIM to IAS =3D 100 to 110 knots depending upon weight or better ye=
t
AOA =3D L/Dmax
       Prop to Coarse Pitch
       Gear and Flaps up unless landing immediately
2. Find a place to Land
      Turn downwind while searching to get more distance over the ground
3. Trouble shoot the problem time permitting
       Carb heat on if not injected engine
        Fuel Selector/Transfer pumps on etc.
        Mags to L then R
        Mixture slowly towards idle cutoff (maybe a clogged injector
causing mixture too rich)
        Any other tricks you might have specific to your aircraft
4. Brief the Passenger and plan escape after landing
5. With the field Assured
        Flaps down and gear down depending upon surface
        Shoot for the middle third of the landing area selected
        Don't try to stretch the glide (slowing to below L/D max only giv=
es
you a brief high
         followed by a increased descending flight path angle and less
energy to flare)
        Land at a shallow angle on a flat surface
6. Exit the Aircraft

The peressurized IV guys need to start the above procedure with a rapid
descent to a breathable altitude.
