E6b Flight Computer Exercises

Setup: In the "Pressure Altitude/Airspeed" window, align 8,000 ft with +10°C.

Scenario: You are 50 NM into a 200 NM leg. You realize you are 8 NM left of course. Calculate the correction heading to hit the destination.

Scenario : You pass over a VOR at 14:25 Zulu. You pass the next VOR (exactly 32 NM away) at 14:49 Zulu. e6b flight computer exercises

Your aircraft burns 12 gallons per hour . If your flight time is 45 minutes , how much fuel will you use?

The wind side resolves the difference between where your aircraft points (Heading) and where it travels (Track), factoring in wind velocity to determine True Heading (TH) and Ground Speed (GS). Exercise 4.1: Determining Heading and Ground Speed True Course (TC): 090° True Airspeed (TAS): 125 knots Wind: From 180° at 20 knots E6B Steps: Calculate the correction heading to hit the destination

17.3 kt headwind (≈ 17 kt)

Here are five practical exercises to sharpen your E6B skills—no batteries required. Your aircraft burns 12 gallons per hour

Setup: Align 24 on the outer scale with 12 on the inner scale.

You are departing an airfield located at a pressure altitude of 4,000 feet. The OAT is a hot +35°C. E6B Steps: Use the same window as the TAS calculation.

Your remaining distance to destination is 95 NM. Your ground speed is locked at 110 knots. E6B Steps:
