Hello all.
I am finding that a common question in airline interviewing comes in the form of something like:
Code:
You are at FL240 and need to descend to FL180. When do you begin your descent?
To me, this question is confusing because it seems to lack information like ground speed and rate of descent. I understand how to plan a descent with information including amount of altitude to lose, rate of descent, and ground-speed, but I guess I am missing something here.
Can someone explain this typical question and how 121 interviewers are expecting you to head-compute it?
Thank you.
