Yep, the EAA keeps all their webinars on their website. Anyone can view it for months (years?) to come.

Wow, that's cool! I'm honored!

No F-16s in this presentation, but with over 2000 hrs in them, we're going to get deep into the analysis of sight pictures and glide performances, something we practice and train to aggressively in the fighter world. Dave, nope, never had a honest engine failure in a real plane, but I've dealt with a few hundred in the simulators. I've also done some test piloting and analysis of glide ratios under different configurations, and included that for GA In my book. We'll touch on that a little during the webinar. Additionally, I've probably logged a few thousand SFOs in the Viper...it's all about procedures and sight pictures.

Hey guys, just a heads up that the EAA asked me to present a webinar on Engine Loss in your GA single. This presentation mirrors my new book, and is free! I'll be discussing: Glide ratios and calculations, Emergency procedures and critical procedures, sight pictures, glide estimations, energy management, landing site selection, the gear up/down debate, and more. You can register at the below link. It's on 26 October. All you have to do is log in and check it out! https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-education-and-resources/aviation-videos-and-aviation-photos/eaa-webinars I hope you can attend! Thanks! Buster

Bump!! https://www.amazon.com/Engine-Out-Survival-Tactics-Emergencies-ebook/dp/B01HTWFPQU/ref=pd_lutyp_simh_1_1?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01HTWFPQU&pd_rd_r=MZGV4PE91R30D6QWNJB6&pd_rd_w=61XMj&pd_rd_wg=rVDkj&psc=1&refRID=MZGV4PE91R30D6QWNJB6#nav-subnav

-a- Thank you for the kind words, and your support. If you know of someone involved with FF or GP, programmable range rings (based on AGL alt) would be incredible. However, when the s^!t hits the fan, the fast techniques featured in the book, visualizations of the wire, and sight pictures developed with some training will not fail you. That's all we had in the F-16 and it works the same in any airplane. However, that's a cool idea!

Just wanted to remind you that my book is still for sale over at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple iBooks. It looks like Amazon is running a special on it currently. $8.49!!! It's received 5-stars so far, and has been a bestseller for some time in the Aviation category. Thanks for the support!

Our friends at Fightersweep just published part 2 of a write-up. It's an excerpt from the book on landing with an engine out. Check it out to see some of what my book is all about! Thanks! https://fightersweep.com/5691/engine-techniques-part/

For a few Mooney's and Bonanzas...maybe. But that doesn't work for a lot if GA guys.

Look at the C-Mod chart. Are those "miles" at the bottom Nautical or Statute? In the old Bonanza charts...they are statute. So his 1.9 "miles" per 1,000 feet could be statute. If that is the case, 1.9 sm = 1.65 nm...which sounds reasonable for a retract like us.

Good to know Jeff. Thanks for teaching me a little about the Mooney. As far as the best glide distance and wire being the same as the Bo...that is interesting. My guess is that honestly, gear up, our planes are not all that different in cross section and weight and drag. Wing loading will be different of course. Very cool.

Hey Jose! Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it. Since it's an eBook (available via links on my webpage) the actual text is scaleable on whatever device or iPad you want to read it on. When I finished it, it was over 50,000 words, with 30+ illustrations and went out on a 200 page PDF, single spaced. I think one of the retailers calls it a "200 page" book. Thanks so much for checking it out! It WILL make you a better pilot(o). ;-)

Jeff, Nicely done! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the book and actually practicing some of the techniques! That is what will make us all be better pilots. Yeah the ABS glide at 15" was always too much juice for Bonanzas too. I'm curious...did you find a setting that replicated a glide for you? Is the 11" and 700 fpm accurate for your Mooney? What is your POH glide ratio and wire? I'm also curious to hear about those mushy controls and how that relates to your best glide speed. Best glide in the Bo is much faster than 1.3 Vso...so practice glides don't feel any worse than a typical 1.3Vso landing approach. You've made me proud Jeff! Thanks for your support and for working hard to become a better and safer pilot! Please throw a review of the book on Goodreads and/or Amazon if you have a minute. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the support DXB! I hope you won't need it either. I hope none of us do. I'll be curious to see your thoughts when you finish it, and why the military trains soooo much for engine losses, even with hot seats and world-class maintenance. i think you'll enjoy it and I hope it can make us all better and safer pilots!

Thanks guys!!!

Now available on Apple iBooks! Not sure what happened on B&N Nook, it's currently not listed. Should be soon. Thanks guys!

Preorders now available on B&N Nook too! http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1124054659?ean=9781483574639

Sure! open iBooks and do a search. Or you can click on NYT, Featured, or even Author at the bottom of your tablet. Type the title into the search window at the top and it should find it. If you are on a desktop Mac or Laptop, in iBooks, look for the button at the top for the iBooks store. Once in there, do a search and it should come up. let me know if you have any more problems. thanks for your support!!

Now available for preorder on Apple iBooks!!!

It's ready, and available on Amazon/Kindle!!! Should be available on iBooks and Nook (and others) soon as well. Thank you! Nate https://www.amazon.com/Engine-Out-Survival-Tactics-Emergencies-ebook/dp/B01HTWFPQU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467404688&sr=1-1&keywords=Engine+out+survival+tactics

Thanks guys! Ha ha John! I do talk a little about Mooneys in the book however, but realistically, the book is written and designed for all GA single engine pilots. I hope you guys check it out!

Hi guys, Just a quick note to inform you my book at officially at the publisher! It should be a few more weeks before it hits the stores, so stay tuned here or at my webpage for release details. I really appreciate your support and the support of MS. You guys have been great in allowing a Bonanza guy over here to hang out from time to time! Get ready to take your engine loss training to the next level! Buster

I have some friends looking for an engine monitor, I'll pass this along.

Now $700, shipped straight to you! Fresh 8130!

Yep! And maybe a paperback option too. Researching that now.
