Which way to put the rhumb line against a great circle. They make rum in Jamaica, which is near the Equator, so that's where the rhumb line goes. The great circle goes towards the nearest Pole.

Bryan Johnson told me way back when that the ICAO document is the only one that follows a national document, in this case CAP 413...... Put another way, 413 is edited first. Go figure.

I think the only way to do that question suitable for a pilot is to take the total PSR distance flown (2016), divide it by the endurance (8.4) to get a mean speed of 240 kts - closer to 200 than 300...

after consultation, simultaneous equations...

(D x H)/(O + H) = PET for a tail wind home, with O=2/3xH.

Plugging that into PSR=(ExOxH)/(O+H) and rearranging comes up with H=300

Not a good idea that. The LOs were never meant to be a syllabus as such.

The CAA response to post 1062:

Compressibility is typically considered at speeds above 200 kt CAS or 300 kt TAS.

However, it doesn't appear to be in the database anyway.

I've checked with a couple of other senior instructors, and they would expect the answer to be 480 knots if it was encountered in an Instruments exam.

It is a mistake because if you use the mach index, you are reading TAS directly off the flight computer, and the compressibilty calculation is to give you TAS anyway.

33000 feet at 2 per thousand feet = 66.

Starting at +15 on the surface means the temp should be -51, which is logical, given that it's supposed to be -56.5 at 36 090 feet.

But it's ISA +15 so...
