If you have a 10 to 1 glide ratio, that is a glideslope of about 6

who believe Lycoming engines never fail, usually don't make the
runway.

I've started staying above the VASI, and at my homebase runway
04 I plan the touchdown about 1000 feet down the runway, because of
unfriendly terrain at the approach end of the runway.  I don't slip, but

deflect both rudders out to loose altitude.
