Default final glide estimates

Hmm, anybody read the AIM carefully lately? Especially the part where
the FAA defines a "low pass"?

Looks like the FAA actually condones low passes - and tells you how to
do them!

Perfectly legal, if done correctly and safely, of course.

Regardless of what a bunch of jealous old twirlybird curmudgeons would
want you to believe...

Now, 500' finishes at 1 mile - THOSE are dangerous!

flame suit on ;)
