(a) multiplication
A good way to remember how to multiply is to have a pet calculation. By setting up the pet calculation, all you have to do is change the numbers for the particular problem you are working.

Example 1. Lets look at the 5 times table eg 5 x 2 = ?? and 5 x 3 = ?? |
|
|---|---|
| Setup | |
|
1. Find the 5 or 50 on the outside scale
|
|
| Read off | ( 5 x 2 = ?? ) |
|
3. now look around on the inside for 2 and |
|
| Read off | ( 5 x 3 = ?? ) |
|
5. now look around on the inside for 3 and |
|
also you could easily read off x4, x5 etc.
| Setup | And without changing any thing you can also read off |
|
|
|
| Read off | ( 5 x 14 = ?? ) |
|
3. now look around on the inside for 14 and |
|
| Read off | ( 5 x 16 = ?? ) |
|
5. now look around on the inside for 16 and |

(b) describe the method of indicating relief;
Relief on an aeronautical map is shown by colour shading. Areas with low terrain are generally green, where high peaks or points can be a darker shade, possibly brown or red.
This allows the pilot to quickly distinguish the local terrain without having to read over spot heights or numbers.

(a) place/ bearing/distance
When making a position report in relation to a bearing and distance, an accurate bearing to or from a position, place or navigation aid; with a distance gives an accurate position report.

18.8.2 Define: (c) indicated airspeed (IAS)
Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator in the aircraft, displayed in knots.
It uses the difference between total pressure and static pressure, to calculate a speed through the air
