Two of the following quantities are
available: Distance, time, speed.
The methods used in examples 4 and 5
should be used.
7: CALCULATING THE DISTANCE
OF CLIMB OR DESCENT
Example:
The pilot in the previous example wishes
to know how far he will have traveled
when his climb is finished. His average
true air speed is 120 miles per hour and
he is aided by a tail wind of 20 miles per
hour.
Solution:
Set 140 miles per hour
(120+20) on the bezel scale opposite
"MPH" on fixed scale. Opposite 14.8
minutes (computed from example 6) on
fixed scale read 34.5 miles on Bezel
scale.
