Landing Tips

1. Calculate altitude to lose: Current Altitude - Landing Pattern Altitude (1000 above ground lvl usually used): Cruise altitude: 10000ft. Airport altitude: 200ft. 10000 - 1200 = 8800
2. Calculate time: Altitude to lose - Descent speed (500-1000) in FPM. 8800 / 500fpm = 18m
3. Calculate distance from AP to start descending: Time to descend * AP.

// Air Speed
60 knots = 1 NM/min
90 knots = 1.5 NM/min
120 knots = 2 NM/min
150 knots = 2.5 NM/min
180 knots = 3 NM/min
