Anyone got an answer?
Ok - I keep getting asked awkward (well at least for me) questions by my CFI:
Who can tell me how you figure this one out?
You stand on the beach looking out to sea; you're 6' tall and you can see the horizon which, due to the curvature of the earth is a distance of 12nm away. If you now stood on a hill (or were flying) and were 1,000' AMSL looking out to sea, how far away would the horizon be?
I must be thick cause I don't even know where to begin with this one. HELP! (please)
