AVIATION FORMULAS
FORMULA
RTFQ2 = Read The F**** Question Twice !
Distance weight is shifted =
Weight to be shifted
Distance = Ground speed x time
Ground Speed = Distance / Time
Time = Distance / Speed
Fuel consumed = GPH x Time
GPH = Fuel Consumed / time
Time/Endurance = Fuel consumed / GPH
1mile/60miles = 1/60miles = x or miles/miles traveled
TAS = IAS x 2%/1000
Moment = Arm x Weight
Time to NDBminutes = Time in seconds
Degrees in relative bearing change
Time to VORminutes = Time in seconds
Number of radials Crossed
Distance to NDB(VOR)(nm) = Ground Speed x Time to NDB
60
Bearing to Station = Magnetic Heading + Relative Bearing
Bearing from the Station = BTS 180
(VOR)mins
VOR range(nm) = 1.23
DME Slant Range = DME distance2 - Altitude (in nm)2 = True Distance to DME2
Unknown Crosswind Limitation = 20% of Stall Speed
Lift = . p . v2 . s . cL , where p is air density, v is TAS, s is wing surface area, and
cL is coefficient of Lift
Stall speed increase in a turn - 30 = 1.07 x Vs
45 = 1.19 x Vs
60 = 1.41 x Vs
= Normal Stall speed x
Accelerate North Decelerate South, Underread North Overread South
100 rpm = 5KIAS = 100/min
Rate One Turn = 10% of IAS + 7(knots) = Angle of Bank
Rate One Turn = 10% of IAS + 5(mph) = Angle of Bank
Non rotating tire hydroplaning speed = 7.7 x
Rotating tire hydroplaning speed
= 9.0 x
