Glide ratio is directly related to glide path because it is a measure of how far forward we travel for every unit of vertical descent. Typical glide ratios for a paraglider are between 3 to 1 and 6 to 1. This means we travel between three feet forward for every foot of descent and six feet forward for every foot of descent depending on the design.  3, record 1, English, - glide%20ratio

La finesse d'un aérodyne à voilure fixe est le rapport, à une vitesse donnée, entre sa force portante (portance) et sa traînée aérodynamique. Elle est égale au rapport entre la distance horizontale parcourue et la hauteur initiale, à vitesse constante et sans force de propulsion, en air calme, ou encore au rapport entre la vitesse horizontale et le taux de chute.  2, record 1, French, - finesse

There are two dominant methods of indexing. The oldest and most common is based on the names of the parties to each instrument. Under this "name index" system, two separate alphabetical indexes are maintained: one by the names of the grantors or other persons against whom the document operates, and the other by the names of the grantees or other persons in whose favor it operates. A separate set of these indexes is typically constructed each year, and they may be consolidated periodically into index books covering, say, 5-year or 10-year time spans.
