Hence plan for 10:1 to allow for turns and 'muffling about' after an engine out
event. Skydemon allows you to add this parameter to the Aircraft model and
thereafter
depicts a gliding circle around the aircraft (switchable over water/land).
Foreflight may do the same thing. A cleverer (!) version of this would
use the wind vector (at that altitude) to create a lobe shaped gliding range.
Trigear best glide (as per POH) is 75kts.
