Cashking, That's truly amazing! It stuns us all into silence........except me. You didn't answer the question. You did the politicians answer, which is: if you can't answer the question, answer another one like it, but throws you into a favourable light, and hopefully as well gets a dig in at '13 years of Tory misrule', and if you can get a good word in for Tony B as well, well one day you may inch up the promotion ladder!

The actual question was
Is there any rules of thumbs about how you calculate TOD or TOC quickly for a jet??

How do you calcuate when to start the descend?? or to be level at a certain point??
So when you feather, travelling initially at 560mph and 35,000' commences descent, how far horizontally will it have travelled when it flutters to the ground?
