Airspeed and altitude are the only two instruments that I can
recall seeing in my incidents. On one turn to final that I was making a
bit too tight, I glanced at the airspeed to see if falling through 85mph and
rate of sink up to 1000 fpm. Loosened up the turn and lowered the nose
picking up airspeed and lowering rate of descent for a sweet landing - don't
like to think about what could have happened had I continued to tighten the
turn.

Chris,
In the middle of an engine out situation is not the most opportune time to
look at the instruments, and perhaps impossible, (been there), but on the off
chance that you were able to look, or had some sort of recording device, What
was your fuel pressure, and coolant pressure, as well as any other things you
remember.
It is really terrific that you arrived safely with a great landing (one
from which you can take off again).

Chris, good job and glad you made it onto the runway you
had … check fuel system (return and venting), oil lines, accessory belts,
water pump, alternator,– keep us posted as to findings.
At 100 hours TT, experienced a Lycoming eat an exhaust
valve … a very shaky situation; fortunately I had just turned base and
throttled back … it pays to fly tight circuits – just in case.
Ed, based on your system, I’ll take ¼ credit for last
year’s cornfield harvest … I landed just “anywhere” myself but the airplane
didn’t fare so well … progressing with the rebuild.
But being 5 miles away from the runway at 1500’ isn’t the
same as 5 miles away at 8000’.

Ok,
Dave
You get 1/2
credit - I mean if you can just pick "anywhere" to land - where's the
challenge? {:>)
