bond737,

Thanks! Wow, that's crazy, never learned this for my PPLs. They expect people with 0 hours to know this as well?

So would this suffice?:

1 in 60
Width of 1 degree (NM) = DME / 60

Climb Gradient
Climb Gradient = Change in Height / Horizontal Distance Traveled
1 NM = 6076 feet

Stall Speed
Level Stall Speed
Vs = Sq. Root (2W / RSCL)
W= Weight
R = Density of Air
CL = Max Coefficient of lift

Banked Stall Speed
Load Factor = 1 / cos (angle of bank)
VsBanked = Sq Root (Load Factor) x VsLevel

VsBanked = VsLevel / Sq Root cos (angle of bank)
