Your right these pilots/passengers are lucky.

However, 7,000 feet of altitude and this is the BEST place he could find to conduct an E.L.? What's the engine-out glide distance at that altitude, 6-7 miles?

Still, great job by the pilots.

GPS's are starting to be produced with a new feature. When you push a button, it presents a circle on the moving map that shows your 'radius of action' in a power off glide.
