F-16 Flameout Landing Procedure

[bop1701]

See page C-12.  If you're damaged and your fuel is bleeding out it may not be over.  Firewall it for speed and altitude while you still have fuel then coast down, and if you can glide over an airfield at 10,000'+ AGL you should be able to make a deadstick landing.   If you're lower, try a teardrop approach crossing the field at ~135 degrees off the runway heading, or if real low you'll have to try a straight in.  If you're high/have extra energy, use your boards to control descent rate.   Good practice for airmanship - similar to the F-4's

I have heard several RL F-16 pilots claim that it is a remarkably good glider

i used to practice this frequently on 'the other sim' and it is very effective. Worth having a look at.
