Line Up and Wait
On a recent night flight to ILM, I was trying to recall the rule of thumb to calculate my descent point.
I couldn't remember the ROT, so that got me thinking about what other ROTs are out there that I can't remember.
So, what's your favorite ??
P.S. Here's the ROT...
To estimate the point from the field to begin your descent, multiply your altitude (whole numbers)by three and add ten.
To descend from FL 350: 3 x 35 = 105 + 10 = 115 miles out
