Documentation Observation - Top of Descent Calculation Estimate

Tutorial Flight

4.4 ENROUTE, 3-1-62; 14-FEB-2021

Bullet 1 - Example Calculation.

"...cruising altitude is 18,000 feet.  Step one, remove last three digits 18,000 -> 28.  Step 2: multiply by three: 28 x 3 = 84 miles."

 

I don't mean to nit pick, but removal of the last 3 digits from 18,000 is 18, not 28.  The follow-on calculation obviously becomes 18 x 3 = 54 miles.

 

Just an observation.
