because the graphs only permit the calculation of rate of climb, it is necessary to use certain formula to solve take-off climb problems
time to climb (seconds) =
(height difference (ft) / rate of climb (fpm)) x 60
because the graphs only permit the calculation of rate of climb, it is necessary to use certain formula to solve take-off climb problems
distance to climb (NM) =
(height difference (ft) / ROC (fpm)) x (groundspeed (kt) / 60)
because the graphs only permit the calculation of rate of climb, it is necessary to use certain formula to solve take-off climb problems
