Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how the miles per minute method works when working out time? I have been using the fraction method but feel this might be a quicker way to working time questions out.
Lol. You have to do this for real, upside down, pulling 6g, and doing 500 knots in an aircraft that cost the tax payer tens of millions of pounds. Ok the Q above ( these need to be done in your head in seconds if you ever want to sit in a military aircraft)
In the first hour we do 210 miles. We subtract that from 392 so we have 182 miles to run. What is 182/210? We notice immediately that both 182 and 210 are divisible by 14 conveniently giving us 13/15. 1/15 of one hour takes 4 minutes. We burn fuel at 135 kgs an hour and we notice immediately by inspection 135 is divisible by 15 giving us 9. 13 x 9 = 117 kgs. So in total we burn 210 + 117 kgs of fuel. Simples.
In regards to the CBAT, going by the examples on the very first page - are these similar examples to what 'could' pop up in the Aptitude tests? I appreciate that it could and can change.
With my CBAT date looming, i've been using this website - http://www.speeddistancetime.info/ for my SDT and fuel consump. calcs and struggling. Can I expect similar for the CBAT?

My friend just recently went for his and told me the equations are not massive, it is just a test to see how quickly and precisely you can come up with the answers.

Yes mate, 6-7th Sep.
Ok thank you, having looked at the OASC website reference those practise questions; some left me stumped massively which is of course a massive concern to me.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Q_M for showing a really easy way to work out speed and time and Lady Venom for the easy way in the comments to work out distance. You've both helped me no end in prepping for my CBAT! Q_M thank you as well for the huge amount of practice questions you've uploaded!
