I suppose it's what you are used to, but I don't see how with a G/S of 160kts multiplying 160 x 5 can be easier than 16 (just ignore the last digit of the GS) divided by 2 to give you your answer of 8(hundred)fpm ROD?

Good point, I too am not really interested in groundspeed until I am about to capture the glideslope, until then it's airspeed that I need to be concerned with as that's what I have to lose to take flap etc at the right point.
