How about using the one / sixty rule.
For every degree of track you drift 1 mile per 60 miles. So if you fly perpendicular to the radial you need sixty times the time you need for one radial to the VOR. One radial is half a dot. So you need 30 times the time you need for one dot to the VOR, or 10 times the time for 3 dots. (I wouldn't calculate on half a dot results, after having done some VOR-Flying in real world). |

Hello,
Thank You all for Your help! The solution is very easy. My mistake was the translation of the word "perpendicular". In german I know the word "Perpendikel" whitch is the pendulum of a big clock. So I had the idea of a mesurement right and left side of the radial. Nowing now, that the mesurement is taken rectangular to the radial, it is very easy to understand. :-)) Good bye, Klaus, pleas excuse my bad English! -- www.wagner-mem.de |
