Question 1

TOD Calculation

Answer 1

TOP OF DESCENT POINT
6x 1000’s of feet to descend
ie. 3500’-2000’ overhead PKU is 1.5 x 6 = 9nm = 2nm for configuring. Hence 9 + 2 + 11 nm to TOD PKU
If bumpy slow down and go down

Question 2

Profile Calculation

Answer 2

3% PROFILE
is 300ft per nm therefore at 1nm = 300' + AE of 145' 
ie. 1nm = 300ft + 145ft
(easy numbers) = 1500ft
ie. 3nm final 
= 3 x 300 = 900 + 145
= 1045 or approx 1100ft
