How do I calculate time, fuel, and distance to climb?
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 [...]

Endurance decreases with altitude and therefore is greater at sea level.
Weight will reduce the range of your airplane. Added weight will require more lift. More lift means more induced drag. More drag means more power is necessary and consequently greater fuel [...]
The rule of thumb for calculating density altitude is to add 120 feet to the pressure altitude for each degree above standard temperature. For example. If you pressure altitude was 700 [...]
Basic Empty Weight (BEW): the weight of the aircraft as it sits in front of you including oil and other fluids, not NOT FUEL. Useful Load: the maximum allowable gross weight [...]
When converting from IAS to TAS the rule of thumb is is that TAS increases by 1.5% over IAS for every thousand feet up to 20,000 feet. For example, if you [...]
