Mastering the Skies: 5 Essential E6B Flight Computer Exercises (And Why You Still Need It)

  1. Set TH (050°) under True Index.
  2. Place grommet over any convenient arc (e.g., 100 kts) – this is your TAS.
  3. Since Track (065°) is 15° to the right of heading, move the dot 15° right of centerline.
  4. Slide to adjust so the dot rests on the GS arc (125 kts).
  5. Read wind direction under the initial True Index setting.
  6. Measure wind dot distance from grommet.
  • Answer (approx): Heading ≈ 047°; WCA ≈ 2° right (note: E6B procedure yields precise WCA direction); groundspeed ≈ 125 KT.
    1. Rotate the inner scale so the Index (60) aligns with your TAS (115).
    2. Find your distance (245) on the outer scale.
    3. Read the Time on the inner scale opposite 245. (Answer: ~128 minutes / 2:08).
    4. To find fuel: Set the Index (60) to your burn rate (8.5 GPH).
    5. Find your Time (128 minutes) on the inner scale. Read Fuel on the outer scale. (Answer: ~18.1 gallons).

    Tips for Practicing with These Exercises

    Exercise 8 – Endurance

    Given: Usable fuel = 36 US gal, Burn rate = 9.2 GPH. Find: Endurance (hours & minutes).
