REFLECTOR: Power OFF glide ratio

[Dave Bertram]

I had the engine quit and got a good feeling on how far it would glide. You
establish your best glide speed and hope it gets you to a safe place to land

Has anyone tested power OFF glide ratio (NOTE: not the idle power but with
the prop stopped and hanging in the airstream)?
My EFIS has the "glide to land area" depiction and as a part of the initial
programming of the unit, I need to supply the glide ratio with the engine
stopped.  Does anyone have this number?
