You are given this Average Speed Schedule with mileages from RSC1:
| Start at 22 mph |
| At 3.75 miles change to 24 mph |
| At 7.45 miles change to 26 mph |
| At 12.25 miles change to 28 mph |
Your Start Time at Regularity Start Control 1 (RSC1) is 10:32:00
1. At what time are you due to change to 24 mph? = 10:42:14
You come to Intermediate Regularity Time Control 1 (IRTC1) where you are given the time 10:47:12 and a slip of paper stating:
| Distance from RSC1 | 5.45 miles |
| Time allowed | 14 min 29 secs |
2. What is your time error for the section from RSC1 to IRTC1? = 43 secs late
3. At what time should you now aim to change to 26 mph? = 10:52:12
You come to IRTC2 where you are given the time 11:00:50 and a slip of paper stating:
| Distance from IRTC1 | 5.10 miles |
| Time allowed | 12 min 09 secs |
4. What is your time error for the section from IRTC1 to IRTC2? = 1 min 29 secs late
5. At what time should you now aim to change to 28 mph? = 11:04:45
You come to IRTC3 where you are given the time 11:08:23 and a slip of paper stating:
| Distance from IRTC2 | 3.40 miles |
| Time allowed | 7 min 34 secs |
6. What is your time error for the section from IRTC2 to IRTC3? = 1 sec early
If you got all the answers right you will have grasped a good understanding of the basic principles of regularity section timing.
