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
QuoteI 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?

Thanx ... looks like I messed up somewhere .... because your solution looks simple and correct. I'll see where I went wrong.
I got my groundspeed as 180 (by CX-2)

I had to mention the "polite" part coz I have seen people here getting just way out of control for just a simple comment.
