Yup. Without power you are guaranteed to "land."Simple. I rolled right-side-up, lowered the gear and chopped the power. Gravity did the rest.

Sadly, I’m singin’ the same tune. Not so concerned about screwing up the ‘macro’ decisions, but rather the cumulative micro mistakes that add up to a bad outcome.Aviation has a perfect record. We’ve never left one up there.
Until age, and the beginnings of short term memory issues (not surprising given the genes I’ve inherited) convinced me to give it up, I spent the better part of half a century messing about with small airplanes.
I grew up in Georgia in a big peanut growing area and after moving to Oregon I loved telling people how beautiful the peanut trees are in the spring.

Yeah but it's not burning(fusion) the iron. When stars reach the temperatures and pressure required to burn iron they find out that it's a bad idea to do so because the reaction is endothermic, removing energy from the core causing it to contract under its own gravity. And boom.
