M20G glide chart

My poh does not have one. Anybody got one ?? I have a copy of the j models.

 

thanks

See if you can get the most recent copy of the POH printed for the M20G... an F can provide similar guidance... a J will be close, but not as accurate...

Then Find the thread where Chuck N posted his glide experiments...

Then develop some rules for yourself for your plane...

Topics that get covered...

• configuration
• speed
• weight
• prop stopped or windmilling slowly...
• effects of idle power... not nearly the same as a dead engine...
• procedures
• glide rings (iPad programs)

PP thoughts only, not a CFI...

I would expect the G's glide performance to be somewhere between the C and F model. Both of these have numerous uploads in the Documents section; my 1970 C Owner's Manual is there, and it has a Glide Chart in the Performance section just before the Performance Charts used to set engine parameters. The same should be in later F books, too.

Gs will have the size and weight of the F, with additional carburetor chin drag of the C. Don't expect to get J model glide performance, there was a lot of aerodynamic work going from F to J.

2 miles for every 1000ft at 100mph. I use it for approximation and planning only. If you know you can make a field and aren’t sure about the airport, take the field.

Have you seen all the EFBs including glide rings in their apps?

Getting it set up properly will work wonders.

I would think that an F model would be negligably different from a G in terms of glide performance.

I wonder if anyone sets up their glide rings on the conservative side or exact poh #s.....

Chuck Noe @cnoe showed us how ‘easy’ it is to generate your own glide numbers to compare with book values...

he shared his data and methodology around here somewhere...

it’s really interesting as is all comparisons to book numbers...

Hmmm . . . Guess I should look into the setup.

Eman... use as exact numbers as possible...

Book numbers will have some extra fat baked in... like MGTW numbers...

when you go to use them, you will appreciate their accuracy and not making additional assumptions on the fly...

I set it exactly to the numbers so that the glide ring shows the "theoretical maximum" glide distance.   Then I know that airports near the ring are "iffy", and those well within are virtually assured targets.

I do.  Don't want to get temped to stretch the glide.  Guys get killed that way.
