E6b Flight Computer Exercises Direct
Groundspeed (GS) = 120 knots. Time = 1 hour 45 minutes. Find: Distance traveled. E6B Method: Rotate inner scale so 120 (outer) aligns with the index (60 minutes). Find 1:45 (105 minutes) on the inner scale. Read outer scale = 210 nautical miles.
Correction angle = (Distance off course / Distance flown) × 60 e6b flight computer exercises
Fuel burn = 9.5 GPH. Time en route = 2h 30m. Find: Total fuel. Method: Align 9.5 (outer) with the index (60). Find 150 minutes (2:30) on inner. Read outer = 23.75 gallons. Groundspeed (GS) = 120 knots
Pressure Altitude = 8,500 ft. Temperature = +15°C. CAS = 110 kts. Find: TAS. E6B Method: Move the density altitude window so 8,500 ft aligns with 15°C. Read the "True Airspeed" correction: ~124 kts. E6B Method: Rotate inner scale so 120 (outer)
