        Well, you should be at least surprised, but you should have
enough time to do something about it.  I went up in the .Sim last night
and tried it again.  Made a standard ILS approach to SYR runway 10, and
when the DME hit 5.5 I shut the engine off completely.  Lasted about 3
seconds before I augered into a shopping mall.  Only by cleaning up
everything immediately after I cut the engine was I able to avoid an
accident, but I still had to hold the gear up until just before the
threshold in order to make the runway.

        Hee hee!  :-)

        Cause he graduated Summa Cum Knockus, and lived through it.
