Thats not what they are asking....everyone knows how to calculate ROD. But a certain program I wont name gives the Distance as Height diff / 2 x ROD and for some reason asks for TOD when climbing. Not to mention we have no idea how fast the aircraft is going. And then for some reason others say ow you just use Height diff / ROD. which just gives you the time again without knowing the speed expecting to know the distance. bizarre
