Given:
Air Speed : 200 knots
Altitude of Flight : 8000 ft
Airport Distance from current flight path : 60 n.miles
Altitude of Airport : 0 ft
Additional Details : Clear weather, no winds, etc to worry about.
Question: What should be my rate of descent to land on the airport ?
Is there a formula to calculate rate of descent. Should I climb up or down to use that rate of descent. Please help. I know for sure that this is the question everyone is asking to enjoy FS04 of FSX. Yes, i have used the Flight lessons, most of them are boring!!
Does it matter what kind of plane i am flying as long as i am maintaining the required speed. Assume I am playing a jet, if you need that info.
You’re a bit too high and too far out from the field to only be at 200 knots, unless of course you’re in a small, light plane (you didn’t specify).
Proper rate of descent is going to depend on what type of aircraft you’re flying.
