1:60 Flashcards
If you are 1° off in track
After 60 miles how far off will you be
1nm
Equation for track error
distance off / distance gone x60
What do you alter heading by to run parallel to the track once track error has been established
Alter heading by track error
How much do you alter heading by to regain your track once track error has been established
2x the track error
What is the closing angle formula 1:60
Distance off / distance to go x 60
+ track error
Formula for glideslope angle
Glideslope angle = height / range x 60
What is the formula for glideslope height
Height = glideslope angle x range x 100
What is the equation to calculate rate of descent for a glideslope
Glideslope angle x groundspeed x 100 / 60
% gradient x groundspeed
What is the quick equation for rate of descent on a 3° glide slope
5 x groundspeed
Equation for vertical speed
Ground speed x gradient x 100 /60
Glideslope gradient formula
Altitude difference / ground difference
