Time, Fuel And Distance To Descend (Figure' 5-24)
Time, fuel and distance to descend are determined by finding the
difference between the cruise and the landing airport conditions;
thus two calculations are required, one for the cruise condition and
the second for the landing airport condition.
Cruise Condition:
(1) Enter Figure 5-24 at the cruise altitude of 9500 feet.
(2) Proceed horizontally right to the guideline.
(3) Proceed vertically down to obtain time to descend (19 minutes),
fuel to descend (57 pounds) and distance to descend (60 nauti-
cal miles).
Landing Airport Condition:
(4) Enter Figure 5-24 at the airport altitude of 1700 feet.
(5) Proceed horizontally ri9ht to the guideline.
(6) Proceed vertically down to obtain time to descend (3.4 minutes),
fuel to descend (10 pounds) and distance to descend (11 nauti-
cal miles).
