This is a basic requirement, whether we are flying an Ultra-Light Aircraft, or on the flight deck of a modern Jumbo Jet.\u003cbr\u003eDuring flight we continuously recalculate and estimate to confirm the accuracy of our pre-flight planning and calculations, or to fine tune them. For these re-calculations we often don't have another pilot, an FMS or even a calculator on hand to assist. Our heads and hands may be so busy that we just don't have the time for complex calculations.In these situations rules of thumb, simple formulae and approximations are extremely helpful. A quick mental calculation or estimation will free us up for more pressing duties, thereby greatly improving overall safety.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerhard Grohmann is an Airline Pilot, Flight Instructor and Flight Examiner.
