a. 84 nm
b. 97 nm
c. 105 nm

Doesn´t matter if it is time to sunset or time to running out of fuel...

Distance to Point of No Return =
(Fuel endurance (hours) × Ground speed return (knots) × Groundspeed outbound (knots)) / (Ground speed return (knots) + Groundspeed outbound (knots))

Correct answer: 97 nm

Given the time needed to accelerate to cruise TAS, to turn around and to decelerate and fly a circuit/an approach - the answer is probably 84nm ;)

it is assumed that the a/c does nor do all of those thing when questions like these are made:sad:....correct ans 97...:ok:

[yash]
