Manual Conversions

Speed/Time/Distance • Speed, time and distance are related by the equation: Speed = Distance Time • Given any two of the three variables, the other can be calculated using this equation. Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance If distance and time are given, simply place the values in the equation. • Example Speed = Distance Time Speed = 150 KM 3 HRS 50 KPH Speed = Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance If speed and time are given, the equation needs to be modified. • Example Speed = Time * Speed = Distance Time Distance * Time Speed * Time Multiply Eliminate each Writeside common newbyequation thevariables denominator Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance Now that speed and time are given for the simple equation, place the values in the equation. Distance Regional Gliding School = = = Time x Speed 3 Hrs x 75 KPH 225 KM

Speed Conversions • 66 NM = 76 SM • • Regional Gliding School Knots to MPH to Knots KPH to MPH Multiply by 1. 15 Divide by 1. 15 Multiply by. 54 Multiply by. 62

Time Conversions • Hours to Minutes Multiply by 60 • Minutes to Hours Divide by 60 Regional Gliding School

The Appleyard Scale Outside Ring Inside Ring - Distance and Velocity Time All calculations can be done without using the flight computer by using the previous formula: Velocity = Distance Time However the appleyard scale is a simple quick method to convert. Regional Gliding School

Time Scale • The number 9 stands for – 9 minutes, – 900 minutes, etc. • You must use common sense to figure out which one applies. • Notice on the time scale under the 9, 1: 30 and 15: 00 are written. They stand for 90 minutes and 900 minutes respectively. Regional Gliding School

Distance Scale • The number 6 stands for – 6 units, – 600 units, etc. • Again, you must use common sense to figure out which one applies. Regional Gliding School

Flight Computer The Appleyard Scale is the same for the CR-3 and E 6 -B Flight Computer. The CR -3 will be used to show conversions. However, as mentioned above the E 6 -B can be used as well.

Speed/Time/Distance • Given – Speed = 120 knots – Distance = 170 NM – Time = ? • If speed is given, point arrow towards the speed Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance • Remember that 12 is also 120 and 1200. Any multiple of 10. • Second, follow the outside scale to 17 for 170 NM and read inside scale. Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance • The inside scale will align with 85. • This number could mean 8. 5, 85 or 850. • Use common sense to calculate correct answer. Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance • Flying at 120 knots or 120 nautical miles per hour for 170 NM means the aircraft will be airborne for 85 minutes or 1 hour and twenty-five minutes. Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance • Let's try a few examples: Given Speed = 210 MPH Time = 40 minutes Distance = ? Use the flight computer to calculate. Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance Speed = 210 MPH Time = 40 min. Distance = 140 Miles Point arrow to 210 View reading aligned with 40 min Answer 140 Miles Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance • Let's try a few examples: This one is a little different than before. Give it a try! Given Speed = ? Time = 90 minutes Distance = 120 NM Use the flight computer to calculate. Regional Gliding School

Speed/Time/Distance Speed = 80 knots Time = 90 min. Distance = 120 NM Align 90 min to 120 NM Read speed from pointing arrow Answer 80 knots Regional Gliding School

Fuel • Given – Fuel = 8 GPH – Time = 45 minutes – Consumption = ? • If fuel is given, point arrow towards fuel. Regional Gliding School

Speed, Time, Distance • Remember that 80 is also 8 and 800. Any multiple of 10. • Second, follow the inside scale to 45 and read outside scale. Regional Gliding School

Speed, Time, Distance • The outside scale will align with 60. • This number could mean 6, 60 or 600. • Use common sense to calculate correct answer. Regional Gliding School

Speed, Time, Distance • Burning 8 GPH or 8 gallons per hour for 45 minutes means the aircraft will consume 6 gallons Regional Gliding School

Conversions • Many conversions are possible with the flight computer SM MPH US GAL LBS Regional Gliding School To To NM KPH IMP GAL Kg

Conversions • To convert units simply place known unit under proper location. • If 170 statute miles are given, place it under the statute mile location. Regional Gliding School

Conversions • Once SM is in the correct position, read nautical miles under the NM location. • Answer = 148 NM Regional Gliding School

Conversions • Also, you can read kilometers under the KM location. • Answer = 271 KM Regional Gliding School
