Тrаск miles? What track miles?..

[cancel_mayday]

Is there any equipment to automatically measure them? I have difficulties answering pilot's requests during vectoring. Especially, when it finishes in a next sector, and where everything is scaled in kms.

Add half the miles again to get km? Not massively precise but easy to do in your head quickly.

Sometimes the old simple methods work better than electronics. The more familiar you become with your airspace, the easier it will be to estimate track distance......however for absolute simplicity I still use my pen.....just hold the pen flat against the display over a known distance [make a mark on the pen if you use the same displayed range all the time]. Next time you get a request it is the quickest way to provide an answer.....and in my experience the pilot only wants a rough guide.
Lost pen? No problem...use your finger flat against the display.....advantage here is that your finger can bend and accommodate circular or not-straight section distances.
Other option.....your employer could spend several millions for an electronic tool that does the same thing.

kharmael, the aviation world operates in NM. So I need to multiply by a factor of 1,852 then.

055166k, that's funny and... simple. So nobody uses electronic devices for this purpose ? One more myth has just been busted. :D

Here's the airspace:

Our system shows it automatically... With route function,if you modify route it recalculates track miles... Also we can do it "manually" using vector function and just add up all distances...:ok:
---------
NM ---> KM = 100x2 and -10%
KM---> NM = 100/2 and +10%

cancel_mayday In Ukraine we have minimum separation 5n.m. for arriving traffic. I calculate in such way: if number 1 is 10 n.m. (18,5 километров) from t.d. for #2 and #3 add 6n.m. of track distance, to #4, #5, #6 add aprox 7 n.m. due to ground speed difference.
so if number 5 request track miles: 10+6*2+7*2=36~35 n.m. from t.d.
