6) Level Off procedure if R/C > 1000 feet/min (also for descent R/D)
'From high to low, look below' Climbing to FL 300 R/C = 2500 feet/min
1 mb = 30 feet feet = 500 feet start level off at 29500 feet
If on 6250 feet instead of 6000 feet, correct with V/S = 500 feet/min
3) SAT out of TAT

12) Drift computation in cruise 18) Intercept Heading when passing over station before turning to outbound Heading
Off-Track Distance = x distance to station R/D (feet/min) = speed number x altitude (feet)
60 distance (NM)
9 off track 11 NM from station Descent 17000 feet in the next 28 NM TAS 240 kt
Off-Track Distance = 9 x 11 / 60 = 99 / 60 = 1.6 NM R/D = 4 x 17000 / 28 = 2400 feet/min
17) Intercepting outbound leg when close to the VOR-DME station (valid for Mach 0.7) 23) Vertical speed by changing Body Attitude (valid for lower speeds)
Use TAS or IAS in approach
1 NM for each 30
R/D (feet/min) = speed number x BA ()
FL 330 Inbound on R-180 (Hdg N) to track 060 outbound
Start your turn to 060 at 2 NM before (+ slant 5.5NM) Speed TAS 420 kt BA 3 degrees down
R/D = 7 x 3 = 2100 feet/min

24) Distance required if you want to maintain a certain R/D profile 30) Bank required for a rate one turn
Distance (NM) = speed number x altitude (feet) Bank () = 15% TAS (kt)
R/D
TAS 180 kt Rate one turn
Descent 23000 feet at 1000 feet/min TAS 300 kt Bank = 18 + 9 = 27
Distance = 5 x 23 = 115 NM
26) R/D required to follow a certain glide % 32) Outbound timing for a base turn, when not mentioned on the chart
% = 10 x degrees
6 R/D (feet/min) = 5 x Ground Speed (kt)
Heading () to go = Bank ()
3 Vis (m) = 6 x MDA (feet)
29) Amount of Bank required for a turn 35) Memorize this table 1/60
Bank () = Heading () speed (kt) 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330
