You’re at 5,500′ and your (formally) trusty Lycoming throws a rod. You have to make a quick decision on where to point your stuck prop. Tom Bo introduced us to the “Emergency Glide” feature in ForeFlight. This critical feature will show you what runways are within gliding distance, given your glide ratio, altitude, wind speeds and terrain. Even make suggestions and best flight path to the airfield of your choice. It is available on every level of Foreflight membership.
