Rules Of Thumb

Question 0

Check ALT vs DIST during descent

Answer 0

NM x 3 = alti soll

Question 1

Top of descent?

Answer 1

Delta FL/3

Question 2

ROD req for known distance to descent?

Answer 2

R/D = speed NO mal Füsse durch NM

Question 3

Distance req for known R/D?

Answer 3

NM = speed NO mal Füsse durch RD

Question 4

R/D by Pitch

Answer 4

R/D = 2 x delta pitch

Question 5

V/S zurück auf Höhe?

Answer 5

Doppelte Abweichung in Ft

Question 6

Start Level off

Answer 6

ft = R/C durch 10

Question 7

Start roll out

Answer 7

Bank°/3

Right turn HDG 080 with 25° bank = roll out at 072°

Question 8

Which Bank for turn

Answer 8

Bank is HDG fully up to 25°

Bsp:
Bank° = delta HDG
Right turn from HDG 360 to HDG 007 => 7° Bank

Question 9

5 Tools?

Answer 9

1. Interceptions
2. Standlinienkorrektur
3. 1/3 Regel Stationsüberflug, QDR interceptions
4. Faktor 36/1
5. DME Arc

Faktor 36: Öffnungswinkel proc. Turn
Alpha = 36 / t outbound which results in: 
1min turn alpha = 36°
2min turn alpha = 18°
3min turn alpha = 12°

Question 10

Visibility req. to see threshold at VDP (Non-Precision Approach)

Answer 10

6 mal das Minimum

Vis(m) = 6 x MDA (feet)

MDA 430 feet

Visibility = 6 x 430 feet = 2500 m

Question 11

Memorize this table 1/60 (Speed No)

Answer 11

speed (kt) 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330

speed number 1½ 2 2½ 3 3½ 4 4½ 5 5½

Question 12

Turn Radius

Answer 12
