Thing that confuses me about this is that although the pilot will have to travel 15 miles over ground, as he is descending at an angle then he won't be travelling the same distance as he would have had he stayed in a straight line.
So he has to descend 7000ft in 15 miles over the ground. Beagle, what extra data do you need to answer this question, what speed data is required.
Basically I just want some examples of "rate of descent" questions, which I need to "be familiar with". Could someone perhaps give me an example of one which they have perhaps used on some sortie or other?
Thanks
