Excellent tutorial, Captain. I finally understood how to use this aspect of the E6-B. Regards. Larissa.

[@Mindinmatrix]

Awesome tutorial man, helped me alot!

[@earlyretirement1]

502 don't give up .. subbing all the smaller channels, trying to make the 1000 sub mark

[@ivorytickeler]

Thank you for the post!

[@kalimmabrouki7656]

THANK YOU! Finally I got it

[@AviatorZone]

Any time! If there is any video suggestions you may have feel free to leave them in the comments!

[@markprange6593]

There is another way to do this. The wind speed is marked DOWN from the center mark. Then the angle scale is rotated to show the course. Then it is rotated so that the WCA and drift angle are the same. (Hard to explain--easy to do. --Gives the same WCA and groundspeed answers).

[@abdullahpilot5537]

I got it thank you so much.

[@AviatorZone]

Anytime! I'm glad this was helpful!

[@wildzach]

Thanks!!

[@AviatorZone]

Elly Muriu to obtain your True Heading (TH) you need to add or subtract your Wind Correction Angle (WCA). You subtract to the left and add to the right.

[@seanbrantley7849]

Great video

[@AviatorZone]

Thank you

[@pattygonzales9605]

ground speed 104 wca -10

[@jamaicahines]

Thats what I got too :)

[@ayalathecoolkid5585]

That’s what I got

[@krishnannarayanan8819]

tailwind turned 140 kt to 150 kt

[@elly40093]

how do u find your true heading??

[@ejanocrowsnatcher6785]

Hey what do you do if the wind velocity is more than 50kts? Say 70... or if your true airspeed is more than 260? Is there some way to use scale?

[@AviatorZone]

Hi Ejano that is a great question, to be honest I don't know the answer to your question. I would have to do some research. I think you can scale the airspeed but not the wind. This is really not a common issue because these speeds scenarios are for jets and we never calculate this by hand.

[@ejanocrowsnatcher6785]

Ahk, wow thanks for the reply! Yeah I thought maybe I was using the wrong flight computer but our teacher has given such ridiculous questions like 280 TAS and 115 kt wind! Even the CR-6 doesn't seem to go up that high

[@AviatorZone]

Well maybe most of his students have the calculator which you can put anything in it...

[@pattmahiney]

THANK YOU! Lmao

[@viper8red]

Are you still required to use this POS to get your private? Even the cheapest GPS gives you all this and more.

[@joemccallum710]

Going the long way is the opposite of lazy bud....

[@jesusrogeliozarate]

this is the best tuturial of the world!!!!! now i understand the E6B. It was intimidating but now its a piece of cake. thanks Aviator zone!!!!

[@AviatorZone]

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are glad we can help! How’s flying!?

[@JaseCJay]

fine tip dry erase marker works awesome!

[@gsantos612]

I like this one do you have one to explain Density Altitude the way you made this one simple?

[@AviatorZone]

Thanks for the feedback! Here is it. ruclips.net/video/b6oLN51wdJs/видео.html

[@anhloanpham3861]

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

[@AviatorZone]

We will keep that in mind for the future. Thank you for your feedback.

[@et9566]

I've been overthinking this way too much. It seems simple to understand now. Much thanks!

[@AviatorZone]

Any time thanks for watching!

[@thaddeuskrensavage5259]

awesome !
