Speed-Time-Distance Calculator

The Speed - Time - Distance Calculations are one of the basic tools a sailor uses in navigation. Using this simple formula he can predict the time of arrival, the speed of travel or the distance, and with a known heading, determine an approximate position. (Dead Reckoning - DR )

Time = Distance / Speed

Distance = Time * Speed

Speed = Distance / Time

Time is in hours. Thus, if minutes are to be used, the time in the above equations is divided by 60.
