you stated that the 3times rule works for pretty much every aircraft.
At what ROD?
What ROD do you use in your airliner and would it be the same when you fly light aircraft for the same distance to cover?
All I trying to get across is that the ROD will change for different GS's. Its a methematical certainty.
If yours answer is 'differing' ROD then how can you use the 3times rule.
If its the same ROD then it will not work for slower aircraft.
Could you confirm that the above two sentences a factual.
Could I politely ask for you to read the last post and check my mathematics. If they are wrong, please let me know.
Anyone coming back to me on this seems not to want to confirm the formula that myself or others have posted, which are 100% correct and written in most PPL books.
