Hi! A rule of thumb for me is: (current altitude / 300) + ((current speed - 250 knots) / 15)! So let’s say im flying at 37,000ft at mach 0.84 (about 280 knots at that altitude), i’ll descent from (37,000 / 300) + ((280 - 250) / 15) = 123 + 2 = 125 NM out! This gives u a gud estimate! Hope this helps!
awesome content, it's cool that you make it as realistic as possible (avoid flying over russia with western airlines). maybe you should try flying between two communist countries Russia to Cuba? 🤣 Aeroflot has direct flights Moscow - Havana
Im so glad u noticed the little details that i put into the video! Thank you so much for your kind support!!! I will do the moscow - havana flight veryyyyy sooonnn!
Finally after waiting when I asked you to do this flight and thank you so much for making this video.
Ofc! Rlly glad u got the hang of the video!
how do you predict the top of descent point?
