That was Ron's story. I forwarded it. My comment was about the statement that raising the nose never increases glide distance. Not a good thing to say where new pilots may be reading. Zooming down and ballooning up to get over an obstacle when the engine quits is a different story.

But I want to quantify my statements.... as I said I was taught in normal descent to use the best glide, or best L/D which would involve pulling the nose up to establish- there's no debate there. And what you were involved in was a decision to turn, putting the nose down there wouldnt be good either. I really am referring to straight ahead, stretching it out for clearing an obstacle.
