Yeh i used 1690ft as the minima. Think that was about 5% for rwy 36

Also how can i work out for a given speed over a certain distance, on when to turn downwind?

Example :

Fly the ILS approach on heading 176 and at point A turn left to point B on heading 135 for 2.6nm. Then turn right for downwind for xxnm

How can i work out those distances to fly in seconds? So when i turn at those points i start my stop watch. Speed is 150kts max so gear down f25-30 at this point.

I do have other visual aids like the highway A43 that pilots use for this approach, because i have european roads added to my flight sim.

Thanks!!
