    Default Glide Ratio

    Was looking to find the Glide Ratio of the CC? ( i.e. 9:1). Unofficial answer is fine, since I'm just plugging it in the new option on ForeFlight App on my iPad for a gee wiz display of where it shows you a ring around your a/c for gliding distance.

    According to the CC11-160 flight manual, it's 1.23NM per 1000' at 60KIAS (68 MPH) i.e 7.5:1

    I guess that would be standard prop and wheels. Climb prop and ABWs might eat into that a little.

    ....and that gives you a 715 fpm decent (G3X uses that as well to determine glide ring I think)

    Thanks! Almost thought I was going to have to buy a new CC to get the G3X and glide ring, but the iPad saved me😜..
