Help with this Question
 

An aircraft takes off from an airport 2 hrs before sunset . The pilot flies a track of 90 T , W/V 130/20 , TAS 100kts . In order to return to the point of departure before sunset , furthest distance which maybe traveled is :

a. 84 nm
b. 97 nm
c. 105 nm
d. 111 nm

somehow i am not able to figure out a way to approach this quest any help will be appreciated .

Thanks

Try the PNR formula...should work :ok:

Why dint i see that one coming :( :ugh:

thanks for the help :ok:

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:

yes the correct answer in 97 kts

No probs :) Best of luck for the exam...:ok:
