Calculating time it will take to fly x miles at y speed

[tcr1016]

I am trying to figure out how long it will take to fly 1500 miles at a cruising speed of 200kph. Is thier a site I can plug these in and get the time it will take?

Thank you

You simply have to convert both to the same unit otherwise the answer will be meaningless.

You will either convert 1500 miles to 2400km
(I assume you mean statute not nm)
or 200kph to 125mph

then divide the distance by the speed...

either way you get 12hrs

I don't know a site which will do the whole thing but I am sure a google search would get you a site that would enable you to convert everything to the same unit.

I have a question for you now - why am I answering this on a Friday night? I should be down the pub!

Helpful tip i hope: Google does calculations and conversions.

200km/hr in knots (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=200km+in+nautical+miles&btnG=Search) = 108knots

1500 nautical miles at 108 knots (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=1500/108&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)

= 13.9 hours

Wine with dinner + pub = possibility of being utterly wrong!;)

Forgive me, but is this not basic maths? I hope that I am missing something. The reason I make this comment is that the majority of posts in this particular forum are from those looking for a carear in aviation. Basic maths is one of the personal tools you need to do the job.

No one said Todd is or wants to be a pilot. His profile doesn't say much except that he's from Texas
:p

But it's not the "Seeking a carear in the mecrame and associated Business's" website either. Either way, this site is somewhat focussed!
