Data collection for the upcoming Garmin Glide functionality

Garmin will soon give us G3X Touch users a nice new feature for free. In preparation for this I made a flight yesterday to collect the needed data for it. I wanted to verify earlier numbers.


Result from the worst case scenario (Engine still running but without power and prop full forward):

Measured at the best glide speed of 95kt IAS: vs -995fpm

From this you get:

no wind glide ratio 1:9.67

no wind decent angle 5.905 degrees

no wind 1.59NM / 1000 feet agl

no wind 2.85 km / 1000 feet
