MDR/ good rules of thumb
As a young inexperienced pilot I am very interested in any MDR or rules of thumb that can assist me when flying. For instance when calculating XWC I learnt a simple rule saying "number of degrees off + 30 equals somewhat the percentage of the given wind as crosswind" (when landing on rwy 18, reported wind 200 degrees 20 kts XWC is 10 kts. and so on...)
Please post a couple of your favourite MDR rules. I hope we can come up with a nice collection and maybe help me and others gain more situational awareness when the workload is high.
Best regards
