Question

If you ground speed after departure is 100 kts what is your required climb rate in Ft/min?

(a) 1017
(b) 1220
(c) 1200
(d) 1098

Answer 1

(a) 1017. To calculate the required climb rate in ft/min, convert the ground speed from knots to feet per minute using the formula: Climb Rate (ft/min) = Ground Speed (kts) * 6076 / 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the required climb rate in ft/min, we need to convert the ground speed from knots to feet per minute. Since 1 nautical mile is equal to 6076 feet and 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can use the formula:

Climb Rate (ft/min) = Ground Speed (kts) * 6076 / 60.

Substituting the values: Climb Rate = 100 * 6076 / 60 = 1013.3 ft/min. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the required climb rate is approximately 1013 ft/min.
