A pilot is estimating the flight time for a planned flight of 500 nautical miles based on the forecast wind at flight level. The expected wind speed along the flight route at flight level is a tailwind of 20 knots. The aircraft’s cruise speed (true airspeed) is 150 knots.The pilot determines that the ground speed will be knots, and that the estimated flight time is about hours.

An airplane is heading due North and its airspeed indicator shows a speed of 300 km/h. If thewind begins blowing from the southwest ([N45oE]) at an average speed of 50 km/h, calculate:a) The velocity of the plane.b) How far off course it will be after 30 min if the pilot takes no corrective action.

How far will an aircraft travel in 2-1/2 minutes with a groundspeed of 98 knots?

In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200 km/hr and the time of flight increased by 30 minutes. The duration of the flight is:1 hour

A bird, when travelling at its normal speed, takes nine hours more to travel 15 km against the wind than the time it takes to travel the same distance along the direction of the wind. If it doubles its speed and travels the same distance, it takes one and a half hour less when it flies along the direction of the wind than the time it takes to fly against the wind. Find the speed of the wind.2 kmph kmph kmph kmph

An airplane is flying due east with a speed of 600 mph. There is a wind blowing at 85 mph at an angle of S 59° E. Determine the actual speed and angle of the airplane's flight.
