Mastering the E6B Flight Computer (the "Whiz Wheel") is a rite of passage for every pilot. Whether you're preparing for your FAA written exam or just want to stay sharp without relying on batteries, these practice exercises cover the essential manual and wind-side calculations. Exercise 1: Time, Speed, & Distance
If you want, I can convert these into printable problem sheets with blank spaces for answers and worked solutions.
If you have a headwind, your Groundspeed must be lower than your Airspeed. If it's higher, you likely plotted the wind backwards.
Find your Density Altitude. Pressure Altitude: 4,000 ft. Outside Air Temperature (OAT): Exercise C:
Read the value directly above it on the outer scale (distance). 63.3 NM . 2. Wind Correction & Groundspeed Exercises
