other glid path angles Flashcards
1
Q
what is the Top Of Descent (TOD) formula for other glide path angles
A
Top Of Descent = altitude to lose / (glide path angle * 100)
2
Q
what is the VS (fpm) formula for other glide path angles
A
VS (fpm) = ground speed * decent gradient (%)
3
Q
what are the gradient values for the glide slope angles
A
2° = 3.5%
3° = 5.2%
4° = 7%
5° = 8.7%
