A PIREP: engine-out turn-back - some practice in the haze

wrote: I had no trouble turning back 180 degrees from 200', just as I do in my glider. A rapid push to get the nose down and maintain speed, and a rapid roll to about 40 degrees of bank. Lots of back stick pressure. I never had to let the airspeed drop below 60 mph. By the time it was turned back, I still had 50-75' left to make a shallow alignment turn. 200 ft is impressive. What is your sink rate (fpm) at best glide?
