Not wishing to be pedantic but shouldn't

divide GS by 2 an multiply by 100
be

divide GS by 2 and multiply by 10.


using
divide GS by 2 and multiply by 100
gives

GS 150, so it will be 650 / 2 x 100 = 7500 fpm

GS 200, 10000 fpm

GS 130, 6500 fpm

But the method is far better than many that I have seen.
