You can walk from the Crown in 10 minutes.

Can you rent a car and drive on site? That's what I am planning to do if fortunate enough to get the nod.....

Absolutely. Down Virginia ave after paying for your own breakfast and braving the "Critical Ops Update #1: ATL Winter Weather". Snow day for my first grader!

All Virginia Ave jokes aside anything close enough to walk is a good idea.

Yes you can, the guard gates have your name and give you a temporary pass. Plus you'll be an asset for day 2 urinalysis.

I had a car and stayed at a friend's house and drove in each day. Gate guard will tell you where you can park. And yes, you can haul a car full to the urinalysis place a few miles away. Otherwise you have to call a cab or do it back home at an authorized location.

I'm age 36 and mid-career, hoping to get in early in the wave, but watching from the sidelines thus far. Thanks for taking time to respond!

KTAS= 300. Aircraft is going to teardrop outbound on the 060 radial and wants to roll inbound on the 100 radial. If the aircraft must start the turn at 20 DME, what constant bank angle will roll you out on the 100 radial?

Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for determining this problem?

Hmm, haven't seen any shortcuts for that one. It's basically a two-part problem, solving for diameter of turn and then using turn radius formula to derive bank angle. First part is easy to do mentally, using 60-to-1 rule at 20DME a difference of 40 degrees is 40/3= ~13.3NM. Second part would be tricky without a scientific calculator, but the turn radius formula is R = V^2 / 11.26*tan(bank), with radius in feet, and V in knots. A 13.3nm diameter turn has a radius of 39,900 feet, so...

39,900 = 90,000 / 11.26*tan(bank)

I come up with about an 11.5 degree bank.

//hoping I didn't just embarrass myself with math in public...

Is that particular question on the knowledge test?

Turn radius for a 30 degree bank angle ~ mach minus 2 or 10% of Ground Speed. Roughly double that for 15 degrees. So, 3nm turn for 30 degrees at 300Kts (actual math formula is closer to 2.5, but you asked for ROT), 6 for 15 (again, closer to 5).

60:1 as described in earlier post tells us rough diameter of turn is 13.3NM, so turn radius is about 7 (6.7, but rounded up because you're making a 220 degree turn and I have 7 fingers I can count, but have a tough time counting 6.7).

So my ballpark guess using that ROT would be a bit less than 15 degrees.

Looks like the calculation above says the same.

BTW, if you find yourself spending this much time on any of the questions in the knowledge test, I suggest you're doing it wrong.
