How far can a pa28 Glide?

If you were to cut the engine, and then use the information available in the chart, you should be able to glide about 10 statute miles which yields about a 10 to 1 glide ratio.

What is the best glide speed for Piper Cherokee?

Best glide is 73 at max gross. It will probably be slower at light weights.

How do I find the best glide ratio?

Glide Ratio = Horizontal Distance divided by the Change in Altitude.

What is the correct glide ratio for the Archer II?

Your CFI used a average GA glide ratio of 8:1 for his example but the Archer II’s POH shows more like a 9.5/10: 1 ratio. Both your CFI and the the Foreflight rep said to take the glide ratio you know and reduce it due to imperfect technique, which in the case of the Archer II is probably more like 8:1.

What is the glide ratio of a helicopter?

The glide ratio the are asking for is forward:down. Let\\’s use simple numbers. A glide ratio of 10:1 means you will travel 10 feet forward for each foot of altitude you lose in no wind with perfect piloting technique.

What is the glide ratio of 6 miles on a slope?

Six miles is 31,680′ horizontal distance. If at best glide speed this distance requires 4,000′ feet, then this is a glide ratio of 31,680:4,000. Divide both sides by 4,000 for a simplified ratio of 7.9:1. At 7°, this slope would be higher/steeper than a “standard” 3° glide slope.

How do I calculate my glide ratio?

To calculate your glide ratio, work the graph to obtain the gliding range and convert the NM to Feet. Then see how many feet you travel per 1000 feet drop. Whatever number you obtain divide by 1000.
