6 25 Using the Slide Rule Bezel Flying distance and other navigation calculations as well as general calculations can be performed using the slide rule bezel located around the outside of the dial. This slide rule bezel is not able to display decimal places for calculation results, and should only be used as a general reference as an alternative to more accurate calculations. The outside scale moves by turning the bezel.
Inside scale Outside scale 26 7
27 8 A. Navigation Calculator 1. Calculation of time required Problem: How long does it take an airplane flying 180 knots to fly a distance of 450 nautical miles? Solution: Set the 18 mark on the outside scale to the SPEED INDEX ( ). At this time, the point on the inside scale that is aligned with 45 on the outside scale indicates (2:30), the answer is 2 hours and 30 minutes.
9 28
29 10 2. Speed (Ground Speed) Calculation Problem: What is the speed (ground speed) of an airplane when it takes 1 hour and 20 minutes to fly a distance of 240 nautical miles? Solution: Align the 24 on the outside scale with 1:20 (80) on the inside scale. At this time, 18 is aligned with the SPEED INDEX ( ) on the inside scale, and the answer is 180Kt.
11 30
31 12 3. Flying distance calculation Problem: What is the flying distance travelled in 40 minutes at a speed of 210 knots? Solution: Align the 21 on the outside scale with the SPEED INDEX ( ) of the the inside scale. The 40 of the inside scale is now pointing to 14 and the answer is 140 nautical miles.
13 32
33 14 4. Fuel consumption rate calculation Problem: If 120 gallons of fuel are consumed in 30 minutes’ flying time, what is the fuel consumption rate? Solution: Align the 12 of the outside scale with the 30 of the inside scale. The SPEED INDEX ( ) now points to 24 and the answer is 240 gallons per hour.
15 34
35 16 5. Fuel consumption calculation Problem: How much fuel is consumed in 6 hours at a fuel consumption rate of 250 gallons per hour? Solution: Align the 25 of the outside scale with the inside scale’s SPEED INDEX ( ) of the inside scale. The 6:00 is aligned with 15 and the answer is 1500 gallons.
17 36
37 18 6. Maximum flying hours Problem: With a fuel consumption rate of 220 gallons per hour and a fuel supply of 550 gallons, what is the maximum number of flying hours? Solution: Align the 22 of the outside scale with the inside scale’s SPEED INDEX ( ). The 55 of the outside scale is now aligned with 2:30 and the answer is 2 hours and 30 minutes.
19 38
20 B. General calculation functions 1. Multiplication Problem: 20 x 15 Solution: Align 20 on the outside scale with 10 on the inside scale and read the outside mark which is aligned with 15 of the inside scale. Figure the number of decimal places and the answer is 300. Remember: decimal places cannot be read on this scale.
21 40
41 22 2. Division Problem: 250/20 Solution: Align 25 on the outside scale with 20 on the inside scale. On the outside scale read the 12.5 mark that is aligned with 10 on the inside scale. Figure the number of decimal places and the answer is 12.5 .
42 23
43 24 3. Reading ratios Problem: 30/20 = 60/x Solution: Align 30 on the outside scale with 20 on the inside scale. At this time, the answer of 40 can be read from the inside scale corresponding to 60 on the outside scale. In addition, the ratio of the value on the outside scale to the value on the inside scale is 30:20 at all positions on the scale.
