Navigationhard#283
If GS outbound is 400 kt, GS homebound is 500 kt, and total distance is 1800 NM, the PET is at:
A
800 NM from departure
B
900 NM from departure
C
1000 NM from departure
CorrectD
1100 NM from departure
Explanation
PET = D × GS(home) / (GS(out) + GS(home)) = 1800 × 500 / (400 + 500) = 900,000 / 900 = 1000 NM from departure.
