E6b Flight Computer Exercises: Verified

You should see approximately 182 knots on the outer ring.

where the "Rate Arrow" (large black triangle) always indicates values per hour on the outer scale. Problem A: Time En Route : Groundspeed (GS) = 150 knots; Distance = 245 NM. Rate Arrow to 150 on the outer scale. Find 245 on the outer scale. Read the corresponding time on the inner scale: 1 hour 38 minutes Problem B: Groundspeed Discovery : It takes 1 hour 40 minutes to fly 400 NM. e6b flight computer exercises verified

Keep your whiz wheel greased, your pencil sharp, and always check your answers against a verified source. Do that, and your checkride examiner will see a pilot who truly understands the art of navigation—no electrons required. You should see approximately 182 knots on the outer ring

The calculator side uses a "60 to 1" ratio (60 minutes in an hour) to solve rate problems. Rate Arrow to 150 on the outer scale

A verified E6B exercise means the problem has been solved independently (often using both slide-rule logic and an approved electronic E6B like the ASA CX-3) to ensure the answer is indisputable. Below, we provide exactly that.
