Determining flight time with Mach number ATPL
Can someone help me solve this question from the aero course ATPL workbook 6th edition?
The following wind reports relate to a westbound flight of a small business jet aircraft:
274045
How long would it take for this aircraft to cover a distance of 115 NM if it cruised at Mach .83?
31 mins
25 mins
20 mins
17mins
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sat many hours looking at .83 mid Atlantic...at normal business jet altitude... Approx 480kts
-45= 7 'n a bit nm per min= 17ish mins. 😆
Not sure I could get through ATPL now!
Good luck with it.

In the absence of any additional information, I think it would be reasonable to assume the small business jet is flying in an ISA temperature tropopause, which gives 17 minutes.
