In order to calculate time to climb you need:
- the vertical distance you are climbing (ex SL to 4000 feet = 4000 feet)
- your climb rate (ex 500 feet per minute)
Example:
Time to climb = 4000/500
Time to climb = 8 minutes
In order to calculate fuel burned you need:
- Time to climb (8 mins)
- Fuel flow (9 Gph)
- The number 60
Example:
Fuel burned for climb = 8 * 9 / 60
Fuel burned for climb = 1.2 Gallons
To calculate distance traveled during your climb you will need:
- Time to climb (8 mins)
- Your ground speed (ex 70 kt)
- The number 60
Example:
Distance traveled during climb = 8 * 70 / 60
Distance traveled during climb = 9 . 33 NM
