Quick Calculations

Question 1

Standard Rate Turn

Answer 1

(10% of TAS) + Half of Resultant = Bank Angle

Question 2

Normal Decent Rate (3%)

Answer 2

(GS / 2) x 10 = FPM

Question 3

Determining VDP (DME)

Answer 3

DME to Rwy +/- (HAT / 300) = DME
(NAVAID past threshold = ADD)
(NAVAID before threshold = SUBTRACT)

Question 4

Determining VDP (Time)

Answer 4

Time to Rwy - (HAT x 10%) = Time

Question 5

Climb Gradient (OEI)

Answer 5

FPM x 60 / (GS x 6076) = %

Question 6

FPM/FPNM Conversion

Answer 6

FPNM x (IAS / 60) = FPM

FPM / (IAS / 60) = FPNM
