When to Turn Final (GMS)
Hi GMS,
Just out of curiosity I m not sure if I understood your example. When you say a 8 NM downwind do you mean that you are about 8NM, abeam to the rwy th threshold?
I usually used height abeam x 3 to get approximate time to turn in seconds.
If at 1500 / 100 x 3 = 45 seconds when I would turn final.
But are interested in how you where calculating ?
If you able to upload a picture or drawing :-D
