For fuel, add about 200-800 kg to the required fuel figure at the bottom of the nav log and round it up to the next hundred, to work out what to put in the tanks.


For descent, three miles per thousand feet works surprisingly well at almost all stages of the flight. Don't forget to allow a few miles for deceleration, and allow for the effect of wind.
