When I received my IV training, my instructor showed me an emergency landing
procedure that I practice often. You fly 2500 AGL at 120 KIAS gear down,
runway heading over the runway. At 1/3 of the way down the runway you kill
the engine, feather the prop and begin a standard rate turn. Manage speed
and decent to hold a 1200 fpm decent. Roll out and land between 1/3 and 1/2
of the way down the runway. Better to land long than land short.
In the June/July issue of LNN, Dave Riggs wrote an article describing his in-flight emergency. He says he used the circle-to-land approach documented in Charlie Kohler's book, "Flying the Lancair IV". Is the procedure Brent describes the circle-to-land procedure? If not, could someone give us a description of the circle-to-land procedure? Thanks.
