Problem 1 - First of all you need to find how many minutes it's going to take to get to your Vor.

100nm / 335kts * 60 = 17.9nm per minute

Then you need to calculate how much altitude you have to descend in that time.

35000' - 11000' = 24000'

Divide 24000' by 17.9nm per minute = 1340 Ft/min


Problem 2 is a psr question I think (can't work it out because I don't have my CRP with me).


Problem 3 is the same as the first problem

65nm / 330kts * 60 = 11.8nm per minute

33000' - 10000' = 23000'

23000' / 11.8nm = 1949 Ft/min


Hope this helps you out.
