re: Cessna Catastrophic Engine Failure Emergency with Video and ATC Audio in Hillsboro

If you have to have an engine failure it's so much better at 9000 ft than 200.
Some of the map/navigation software available now (ie Foreflight) will calculate how far you can glide based upon your aircraft and elevation. There's a shaded circle around you on the map which is larger the higher you are. Don't know if Sully had that help when he had to decide to ditch into the Hudson.
