Gliding
10
The aircraft can glide well with the engine in idle or switched off. Best glide ratios
are achieved within an indicated airspeed of 63 to 75 mph (55 to 65 kts). These speeds
will establish a glide ratio between 1:15 to 1:17 with the flaps retracted (0° position).
10.1.8
Descent
When descending from level flight it is important to watch engine temperatures. During
descent, the temperatures will decrease, which could cause engine failures or carburetor
icing to develop.
So it is strongly recommended not to exceed the lower limits of these temperatures.
