2. Speed (Ground Speed) Calculation

Question: What is the speed (ground speed) of an airplane when it takes 1 

hour and 20 minutes to fly a distance of 240 nautical miles?

Solution: Align the 24 on the outside scale with 1:20 (80) on the inside scale.  

At this time, 18 is aligned with the SPEED INDEX (

) on the inside 

scale, and the answer is 180 Kt.
