How was the landing?
Thanks for the lesson Allen. I'm a student pilot and wannabe Skymaster owner. I've read a lot about fuel exhaustion as an accident cause in GA and specifically in Skymasters. I've often wondered how it could be so difficult to manage fuel. Your post and the subsequent discussion have gone a long way toward furthering my understanding of the problem.
That having been said, I'm also very interested in the details of your forced landing from 1500 agl. Did your emergency procedures come back to you quickly? (Given your safe landing, it would appear so) Do you feel that you completed the entire check list? Were you able to maintain optimum glide speed? Was the landing rough? How was your pucker factor? I'd be very interested in the landing part of the story if you would feel comfortable posting it here. Thanks again.
