SMART GLIDE! Absolutely incredible add on and it’s FREE. Too big to cut and past from the VANS forum. Basically you press and hold the Direct To and if auto pilot equip’d will steer you at best glide to the nearest airport. It also sets up transponder and itunes121.5 and tower of CTAF for you. If there is no nearest it sets you up for best glide.
For more, suggest you go to VANS AF forum and look at g3experts post.

Now all we need is someone brave enough to record an complete engine out sink rate, at the best glide speed, in order to program the feature.

Pretty nice feature. I have Vg setup, but I don't think I have Vg sink rate setup. Guess I'll need to go up and test that out. Unless someone with a P2008 already knows it.
