What is the estimated time en route from Mercer County Regional Airport to Minot International, considering the given wind conditions and true airspeed?

40 minutes
44 minutes
50 minutes
36 minutes

The correct answer is: 44 minutes

To determine the estimated time en route from Mercer County Regional Airport to Minot International, one would typically use the formula: Time = Distance / Ground Speed. In this scenario, the ground speed is affected by both the true airspeed of the aircraft and the wind conditions. If the calculated ground speed aligns with the option corresponding to 44 minutes, this indicates that the distance between the two airports allows for travel within that time frame considering the current wind conditions. The 44 minutes not only reflects the distance but also factors in the real-world aspects of flying, such as wind direction and speed which may have slowed or sped up the aircraft's effective travel time over the ground. Since this answer fits within a logical calculation, providing a grounded context confirms its accuracy relative to the other options.
