Calculated angles, times, distances, and accelerations associated with simple one-skip maneuver to glide trajectory are presented; principal parameters are entry angle up to 6° and lift drag ratio from 1/2 to 5; results obtained by machine integrations of motion for radially symmetric earth and static ARDC atmosphere; limitations on maneuver and precision required are indicated.
