the 21.2G was a stumper for me but i dont fly with Jepp stuff. in the USAF we use NOS, so that standard Jepp format (if that was what it really was) is just something i am not trained for....you know?
just my $.02 worth......
Excellent point. Not everyone as you said uses Jepps. As far as another way to figure out distances on an arc/even distance off course, calculation I teach is: For every NM away from the station, each dot = 200 Feet. So if you are 20 NM away and have two dots deflection you would be 8000 feet off course of 1.2 NM.
On a side note, I wish everyone would lay off the whole low timer thing, I am sick of hearing it and believe or not, not every pilot interviewing at an airline is low time. In the group of people that I interviewed with at Mesaba, I was the lowest time pilot there, with a weak 1100TT. So this whole world is ending thing is getting a little ridiculous.
