Climb distance & rate

3° climb rule of thumb: distance to level-off (NM) ≈ altitude to gain ÷ 300; climb rate (fpm) ≈ groundspeed × 5.

Descent distance & rate

3° glide-path rule of thumb: start descent (NM) ≈ altitude to lose ÷ 300; descent rate (fpm) ≈ groundspeed × 5.

QNH ↔ altitude

Approximate correction using 30 ft per hPa (ISA). For planning only — verify with current altimeter setting.

Pressure altitude

2508 ft

Indicated 2500 ft with QNH 1013 hPa set

Rule of 60

1 NM off track at 60 NM flown ≈ 1° error. Correction (°) ≈ (off distance ÷ distance flown) × 60.

Track error / correction

+4.0°

2.0 NM off after 30.0 NM flown
