You may turn at this point
Notify Tower when Clear of Zone

Cold contact Toronto Terminal

Close flight plan

Question 2

Calculate ATE GS ETE ETA

Answer 2

10:35-10:30=5min. Outer ring 10, top of inner ring 50. Read 60Rate=120kt
**Hold ring. At that speed 22NM (outer ring) read top of inner ring = 11min

1. Start plane. Note start time
2. Takeoff. Note takeoff time. I.e. 10:30
3. Fly to Set heading point. (Orangeville). Note time. I.e. 10:35
4. Deduct time accumulated since last period. I.e. 10:35 - 10:30 = 5min
5. Mark 5min in ATE. This is Actual Time Enroute
6. Calculate Groundspeed (GS). Outer ring Distance (10 NM), inner ring time (50min)
7. GS is found at the “60 Rate triangle” reading = 12kts x10h=120ktph.
8. Continue holding the ring tight and locate “Dist to go” (22Nm) top ring. Read lower ring as Estimated Time Enroute, ETE. Reading = 11min
9. Add ETE to interval time. This is Estimated Time of Arrival. ETA. 10:35 + 11 = 10:46
