Approaching Rifle The last six minutes of Shmulik’s flight are plotted on the following map. He only needed a glide ratio of 14:1 to reach the airfield to arrive at a typical pattern altitude of 1,000 ft AGL. At this point he still had an altitude of 8,275 ft MSL, i.e. 2,739 ft AGL. Shmulik was directly south of midfield.
