2. Flight length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_length

   In commercial aviation, this means the time from pushing back at the departure gate to arriving at the destination gate. [2] Flight time is measured in hours and minutes as it is independent of geographic distance travelled. Flight time can be affected by many things such as wind, traffic, taxiing time, and aircraft used. [3]

3. Flight planning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_planning

   Commercial airlines generally wish to keep the cost of a flight as low as possible. There are three main factors that contribute to the cost: the amount of fuel needed (to complicate matters, fuel may cost different amounts at different airports), actual flying time affects depreciation charges, maintenance schedules, and the like,

4. Top of climb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_climb

   The airplane's Pilot Operating Handbook has a table of fuel burned, time, and distance to reach a given altitude from sea level. To calculate the values for airport at 900 m (3,000 ft), you subtract the values for sea level to 900 m (3,000 ft) from the sea level to cruise altitude. [1]

5. Air navigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_navigation

   Once the pilot has calculated the actual headings required, the next step is to calculate the flight times for each leg. This is necessary to perform accurate dead reckoning. The pilot also needs to take into account the slower initial airspeed during climb to calculate the time to top of climb.

6. Top of descent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_descent

   The top of descent is usually calculated by an on-board flight management system, and is designed to provide the most economical descent to approach altitude, or to meet some other objective (fastest descent, greatest range, etc.). The top of descent may be calculated manually as long as distance, air speed, and

7. Range (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(aeronautics)

   The term , where is the speed, and is the fuel consumption rate, is called the specific range (= range per unit mass of fuel; S.I. units: m/kg). The specific range can now be determined as though the airplane is in quasi-steady-state flight.

9. E6B - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B

   The base name "E-6" was fairly arbitrary, as there were no standards for stock numbering at the time. For example, other USAAC computers of that time were the C-2, D-2, D-4, E-1 and G-1, and flight pants became E-1s as well. Most likely they chose "E" because Dalton's previously combined time and wind computer had been the E-1.
