Currently have just over 60 hours logged. Here is a quick video of my abeam to landing with a simulated engine out. Yes best glide is 68kt however the goal was to make the runway. Looking back I felt I should have stayed a bit higher and landed longer. In addition I shouldn't have dropped the first notch of flaps in until I was 100% certain I had it made. However I was fairly confident I did, and wanted to begin slowing down.

Enjoy! Any input or advice would be appreciated!

Also, I will share this as well... My second aerobatics lesson (I started spin training and aerobatics at 12hrs into my PPL). I now have about 5 hours in that citabria. I originally just wanted to fly it for tailwheel and spin training but fell in love with acro. I have to say it was probably hands down the best thing I have ever done aviation wise. I think all student pilots should go through spin training and basic acro. 50+ spins later and it has become just another maneuver we fly.
