  • m0a.com When is the last time you actually dusted off the ole' manual e6b? In this technology driven world I bet it's been awhile. I strongly believe it's important to have a strong manual e6b skill set to fall back on during your training and beyond

      Get yourself the "circular" E6-B from Sporty's. They came in 3" and 6" models (apparently they don't make the 3" anymore). I had the 3" but couldn't see the numbers so I got the 6". Much better and the 'circular' E6-B does not have the annoying slide card. Just flip it over and all your wind calculating can be done by spinning disks.

      Shaun Bryant you get your plotter and put in on the map to those two airports he shows. Make sure the plotter wheel is straight which means the 0 will always be straight up and parallel to the longitude. Then you basically just see the angle which is around 181°

    • @d.n.3652
      @d.n.3652 7 лет назад

  • @f16bmathis
    @f16bmathis 3 года назад

    But you started at 100 cause it's easier, and later you read 104, which seems 100 high since you cheated and started at 100. I've watched this 5-6 times and need to figure this out. So I started at 120, and ended up with the same answer! It's just an angle? My answer always ends up at 106, but it looks like you're looking at the E6-B at an angle? I started at 200 and still get an answer of 6. So am I off by 2 degrees, or are you? I assume I am.

    The E6B is a out dated clunky item. If flying solo I rather use my electronic E6B to find my calculations rather then squinting at the small numbers on the manual wasting time that could be used for aircraft avoidance. I get it. For a Private Pilot its good to learn, but after that its virtually useless.

      Must be an approved, i.e. aviation, electronic computer. You still have to know how to do all this, you just get to push buttons instead. I haven't used an electronic E6b, but I like having all the extra stuff like wind component and xwind correction charts right there. E6B is just more intuitive to me.

Now I know the basics, thank you for this, I'll calculate some routes now, just for fun. I hope I'll do my license some day, bit expensive here in good ol' germany, so I guess Gyrocopter would be a dream. It's a bit cheaper and I love Autogyros.
