Refer to figure or ALICANTE - Chart 10-3 from Jeppesen GSPRM 2017.
After departure from ALICANTE, you just reach VILNA at FL80 as required. Your cruising level is FL200. With an average rate of climb of 1200 ft/min and a ground speed of 250 kt, you will be able to reach the cruising level…

  • A
    14 NM before ASTRO.
  • B
    6 NM before ASTRO.
  • C
    Just overhead ASTRO.
  • D
    6 NM after ASTRO.

Refer to figure.
Calculations starts from VILNA:

Average ROC: 1200 ft / min
Initial FL: FL80
Cruise FL: FL200

Climb time = (20000 - 8000) / 1200 = 10 minutes
Ground distance = (10 / 60) x 250 = 41.6 NM

Distance from VILNA to ATRO = 14.7 + 12.3 + 8.8 = 35.8 NM

Airplane will reach its Cruising altitude (FL200): 6 NM after ASTRO.
