Larry -

Thanks for putting a bunch of old interesting recollections into the framework it belongs: how to apply it to the airplanes we fly and are building now.

When the engine quits in an ES or LNC2, knowing how to do an SFO (and having practiced them) might well be the difference between making that field in the middle of nowhere or hitting the trees, ditches, etc. on the short or long side of it. What makes your message even more useful is the advice on getting to the right keys in the SFO regardless of altitude and airspeed when the engine does quit. It also is very helpful as an insurance policy when the engine's useful life is unknown, but you are nearing an airport that looks like you can make. Being right on the approach path and airspeed when it quits is not a healthy approach to an engine emergency.

Thanks again,

John
