Get Dg808

The 808's performance in the glide is also nothing to complain about. DG-Flugzeugbau quotes the best glide angle at 110 kph (60 kts) as over 50:1.

Gliders are efficiency champions. They achieve a glide ratio of 1:70, meaning that for each meter of descent, they can glide for up to 70 meters. Modern commercial aircraft don't even come close. The best they can manage is a ratio of 1:20—and even that requires a huge amount of fuel.

Unless the runway is short, a no-flaps takeoff is standard for the King Air. On the King Air 350, available flap settings are Up, Approach, or Down. The flaps cannot be stopped at an intermediate point between these positions. See the Kneeboard for the flap operating speeds.

Typical small single engine general aviation airplanes usually have glide ratio that vary from about 7:1 up to about 12:1, with most common trainers being close to 9:1. Paragliders on the low end are 4 or 5:1 ratios and modern day gliders can easily exceed 45:1.
