What you'll learn

  • By the end of the course you will be able to perform conversions between many different units such as feet to meters, knots to miles per hour or kilometres per hour, gallons (both imperial and US) to litres and kilograms to pounds.
  • By the end of the course you will be able to work out a drift corrected heading from required track, true airspeed and wind velocity and work out wind velocity from a known track, heading, ground speed and true airspeed.
  • By the end of the course you will be able to quickly calculate speed time and distance calculations, more specifically how many minutes it will take to fly a known distance at a given speed.
  • By the end of the course you will be able to calculate the mass of a given quantity of fuel from its volume and specific gravity.
  • By the end of the course you will be able to calculate a fuel burn quantity in a given number of minutes having established a burn rate.
