hmm, at 135kias my legacy does -1500fpm with the prop
pulled (coarse) or -1800fpm fine, no oil pitch.  what's
amazing is delta in angle of decent.

its the difference between making the airport @ 7,000 agl
from 10 miles and not..

note to self: while the CFS doesn't have an AOA for finding
dynamic L/D (it has a pitch limiter/alerter for impending stall)
if the velocity vector is falling short of the X runway marker,
you won't make it, regardless of what fixed "glide range box"
claims..

hmm, wonder if the velocity vector can be used for L/D by
pushing it out as far as it can go... hmm..
