Note the wind correction angle where the dot rests. It is roughly 6° to the right of the center line.
How to solve: Set the Speed Index to 135. Look at 14 on the inner scale. Read the outer scale. Answer: 31.5 NM. e6b flight computer exercises
The calculator side of your E6B operates just like a standard circular slide rule. It consists of an outer ring (for distances) and an inner ring (for time, speed, and fuel consumption). Core Formulas You Should Know Note the wind correction angle where the dot rests
You are flying TC 045°, TAS 160 kts. You find your GS is 140 kts and you have a 5-degree left wind correction angle. What is the Wind Direction and Speed? 4. Density Altitude and True Airspeed (TAS) Look at 14 on the inner scale
Your engine burns 8.5 gallons per hour (GPH) . How much fuel is used in 2 hours and 20 minutes ?
You need to fly a True Course of 270°. Variation is 5° East. Your True Airspeed is 95 knots. The wind is blowing from 290° at 30 knots. How to Solve: First, find your WCA and GS on the wind side. WCA is -6°, GS is 94 knots. Calculate True Heading (270° - 6° = 264°).
Rotate the compass dial to place your True Course (090°) under the True Index.
