    Plotting an ETP

    Last Updated: 28th April 2013

    Plotting an ETP

    • Red Line

    o NAT D manually plotted westerly route (Manchester to New York).

    • Red Circles

    o Route Waypoints

    • Brown Circle

    o Nil Wind ETP between EINN (Shannon) and CYYR (Goose Bay).

    • Yellow Circle

    o ETP with a westerly headwind between EINN and CYYR.


    Example
    Assume the wind is from the west with a headwind component of 30 knots. Enter the graph with a:

    • Continuing wind component of -30 (continuing towards west = headwind = negative sign)

    • Returning wind component of +30 (returning towards east = tailwind = positive sign)

    • Intersection of two lines gives a value of approx +3.5

    • Distance between EINN and CYYR is 1819 (as printed on the chart)

    • 1% of 1819 is 18.19

    • +3.5 x 18.19 = +63.66 or approx +64

    • The product is +64 so ETP will be in the continuing direction.

    • On the horizontal graduated brown line (printed on the chart), mark 64 towards the continuing (west) direction.

    • From this point extend a line, perpendicular to the graduated brown line, so that it intersects the route.

    • The point of intersection is the ETP with a headwind component of 30 knots.
