Hi All,

Not ATPl question but didnt want to start a new thread:

Somebody wrote this ages ago on the forum:
They then give you 2 small written tests. The first one is again basic mathematics but applied to flying. Questions like "you want to be at 1000' 5 miles from the beacon. You are currently at 8000' and 20 miles from the beacon and your airspeed is 150kts. What descent rate do you need?" So basically, a few distance/speed/time questions. Know the 1/60 rule also because I think there's a question on that.
I make the answer 7000/150 x 60 = 2400ft per minute decent.

Can anyone confirm?

Cheers.
