E6b Flight Computer Exercises - Better

Set speed to 120 knots. To find time for 40 nautical miles (nm), look at 40 on the outer scale; the inner scale will point to 20 minutes. Fuel Consumption: Align the index to your Gallons Per Hour (GPH)

| Mistake | Correction | |---------|-------------| | Forgetting to convert minutes to decimal | Use 60 on E6B outer scale for minutes | | Using CAS instead of TAS for wind side | Always use TAS for wind calculations | | Reversing wind direction arrow | Wind arrow points which wind blows | | Not correcting for magnetic variation | Add/subtract variation after WCA | e6b flight computer exercises better
