When To Descend - Microsoft Flight Simulator

Subscribe here:    / @thecorporatepilotdad  

When to start a descent the practical way a Pro Pilot uses with the least amount of math. I use this method in real world flying and it works well without the need of a calculator. It also works great for figuring when to descend in Flight Simulator.

Planning when to start descending is easy with this method. This is much easier than using the top of descent calculation with distance.

This is for entertainment purposes only. Intended for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator only.
