Ok Guys & Gals,

Code:
.FT     NM     FT
---- x ---- = ----
.NM     MIN    MIN

NM/MIN is the groundspeed. Normally we talk about speeds in miles per hour. Divide that by 60 (minutes per hour) to get miles per minute. If you started with Knots, you're done. If you started with Statute Miles per hour, go find yourself another conversion.
