HOMEWORK Q1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 14

PRACTICAL APPLICATION
1. An aircraft is flying from M to N , distance 55 nm , after 25nm , the aircraft is 2.5 nm right of track. What alteration of heading is required to fly directly to N. ( Use 1 : 60 rule to solve the problem )

ANS : 11 left 2. A B777 is cruising at 30000 feet and pilot is planning to descent with 3 degree glide path. a) How far ( in NM ) , before the destination airport, the airplane should start to descent ? b) What 1: 60 rule ( rule of thumb ) equation you should use ?

3.

Airplane is on final descent with glide slope 3 degree , ground speed is 110 kts a) What is the rate of descent ( ft / min ) should be maintained ? b) What rule of thumb equation you should use ?

ANS : a) 550 ft/min

b) ROD = GS x 5

4. Airplane is on final descent with glide slope 3.0 degree , ground speed is 150 kts a) What is the rate of descent ( ft / min ) should be maintained ? b) What rule of thumb equation you should use ?

5.

Aircraft is planned to capture the 3 degree glide slope at 10 NM. What is the rule of thumb to calculate the intercept altitude ? What is that altitude ( AGL ) ?

ANS : HEIGHT = RANGE x 300

, ALTITUDE is 10 NM x 300 = 3000 FT AGL
