DESCENT

Enter the TIME, FUEL, and DISTANCE TO DESCEND Graph
at the cruise pressure altitude of 11,500 ft and trace right to the
reference line. Then trace down to obtain the time, fuel, and
distance to descend to S.L. Repeat the process starting with
destination field pressure altitude of 3965 ft. to obtain the time,
fuel and distance to descend from 3965 ft to S.L. Subtract the
former values from the latter values to obtain the time, fuel and
distance to descend from 11,500 ft. to 3695 ft.
Time to Descend = (23 - 7.8) = 15.2 min
Fuel Used to Descend = (8.7 - 2.8) = 5.9 gal
Descent Distance = (70 - 22) = 48 NM
