The Calspan Learjet Model 25D is at 0.82
Mach at 20.000 ft above sea level 50
nautical miles east of NAS Corpus Christi
when a miscalculation of the fuel required
results in total engine failure. Assuming
zero wind, can the Learjet make it to
Corpus Christi to attempt a "deadstick"
landing or should the pilots look for
somewhere closer to put the aircraft down?
