Example sim question:

Fuel Flow per engine is xxxxx

You have xxxxxx fuel Remaining

Whats your d from ABC vor when you run out?

So, find endurance, estimate TAS/IAS, take wind into account, therefore work out groundspeed, with endurance work out distance covered, convert that to distance from ABC vor.

OUCH........

......all while navigating and flying a jet youve never flown before....
