7.9.2.2 Measuring courses and distances

From wind information, headings and ground speeds must be calculated.

Flight time must be calculated and based on declared fuel consumption.

Weight and balance calculation is necessary to find the aircraft's take-off and

landing distance.

We must fill in the operational flight plan with the calculated results.
