Typical questions are similar to...

A plane has 1800 litres of fuel remaining, and is using fuel at the rate of 300 litres per hour. When the plane lands, it must have at least an hours fuel on board. If the plane is travelling at 400 knots, which airfield should the plane try to land at:

A) 1500 miles away
B) 2000 miles away
C) 2400 miles away
D) None of the above.
Hi,

This is actually an interesting question. Just tell me something: did you mean 'miles' from A) to C) or 'nautical miles'? I was just wondering, because as we all know 400 knots = 400 nautical miles per hour.

I'm assuming that in the actual paper, whenever they want to say nautical miles they explicitly say nautical miles, and similarly to miles or any other unit

EDIT: nevermind, 2400 nautical miles would be absurd. Of course you meant miles. Oh well, not too bad, just another conversion... thanks.
