HOW LONG TILL I GET THERE??     (a [Fog] exclusive tip) -- ?1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you've ever wondered how long it was going to take to get to the airport
you're flying to, there is a way to figure it out. Enter the VOR frequency of
the destination airport in the NAV 1 radio. When you do this, it will activate
the DME readout (VORs have an transmitting range of approximately 70 miles, so
you may be out of range for a little while). The DME readout tells you how many
miles to go until you reach the selected VOR. Count how many seconds it takes
for the DME readout to decrease by 1/10th of a mile. Multiply that number by
10. Then look at how many miles you have left to go on the DME (not counting
tenths of a mile), and multiply that by the first number you figured out.
Divide this number by 60, and the answer is how many minutes it'll take to
reach your destination!

 EXAMPLE:
 ~~~~~~~~
   It's taking you 4 seconds to travel 1/10th of a mile.
     10 x 4 = 40

   The selected VOR is 20 miles away.
     40 x 20 = 800

   800 divided by 60 equals 13.3 minutes to reach your selected VOR.

 This is an approximate time. It depends on how far away the VOR is from the
airport, and if you change your airspeed en route.
