Refer to the G3X Touch InstallationManual for more information.NOTE: Many factors, such as winds at various altitudes, terrain, and evenpilot actions affect the ability to accurately estimate the gliding range of anaircraft. The displayed Glide Range Ring should not be considered a replace-ment for in-flight emergency pilot training.The Glide Range Ring is displayed as a cyan ring around the estimated area that canbe reached by the aircraft in the best glide range configuration. The Glide Range Ringfades into view on the map as the aircraft climbs through 500 feet AGL. The range isbased on the Best Glide Speed (VG) and Sink Rate (at VG) entered by the pilot. BestGlide and Sink Rate are combined with the aircraft's height (AGL), wind, and bankangle to determine the distance the aircraft can travel.Navigation Map - Glide Range Ring(Ideal Descent Profile - No Wind)Glide Range RingNavigation Map - Glide Range Ring(Ideal Descent Profile - Wind 245˚ at 25 kts)
