My Solution
TAS=197Kts
Course---240
Wind---180/30
Using this data on the flight computer,
GS=182Kts
Using the GS and D=39NM
Time=12.8mins
Vertical Distance flown in 12.8mins=16000ft
RoD=16000/12.8
RoD=1250fpm
(I hope this is correct. If not, kindly correct me but please be polite)
@ktmb-ktmb
hey, good attempt buddy. Will always b polite
I DOn't trust that formula because the G.S. is in Kts and RoD comes out in FpM. Did u get ur GS 180 or 182 Kts?
Rate of descent = Groundspeed x Glide slope angle x 100/60
