(GS/60)*CG
GS = 170 Knots
Climb gradient = 350 feet per minute
(170/60)*350 =991.66
Calculate VDP
MDA: 1100 feet
TDZE: 100 feet
HAT = (1100-100)/300 = 3.33 NM DME
Use the following information to calculate the
altitude needed to descend to the TPA and glideslope
descent.
Altitude = 12,500 feet
TPA = 700 feet
Airspeed = 160 KIAS
(Altitude-TPA)
1. (12,500-700) = 11,800 feet, drop the 2 zeros and
you will have 118*3/10 = 35.4 NM
2. (Airspeed/2)
therefore (160/2) = 80 * 10 = 800 feet per minute

Assuming you are flying in a light aircraft, and the TAS is 210 kts. The approximate required bank for a standard
rate turn is ___________ degrees per second?

Angle of bank = (TAS/10)+5 = (210/10)+5 = 26 degrees/second.
