Take a moment to solve these problems on your E6B. After you've completed them, you can check your answers against the verified solutions below.

TAS ≈ 115 kt

150 NM at 111 kt → 81 minutes (1 hr 21 min).

Atmospheric pressure and temperature change how your instruments read. The E6B resolves these variables through dedicated calculation windows. Exercise 5: Finding True Airspeed (TAS) Pressure Altitude: 6,000 feet Outside Air Temperature (OAT): +15∘Cpositive 15 raised to the composed with power C Indicated Airspeed (IAS): 130 Knots Step-by-Step E6B Execution:

You cruise at 132 knots for 45 minutes. How far do you travel?

The wind side of the E6B requires plotting with a pencil to determine how wind affects your heading and groundspeed. Exercise 4: Determining True Heading and Groundspeed True Course (TC): 090∘090 raised to the composed with power True Airspeed (TAS): 120 Knots Wind Direction/Speed: From 180∘180 raised to the composed with power at 20 Knots Step-by-Step E6B Execution: Set the Wind Direction ( 180∘180 raised to the composed with power ) under the "True Index" at the top.

A flight leg is 180 NM long. Your E6B shows a calculated groundspeed of 145 knots. What is your time en route? Solution: 74.5 minutes (1 hour, 14 minutes, 30 seconds).

Before your next flight, sit down with your manual E6B (yes, the physical cardboard one) and complete these ten problems without looking at the answers. Then check your work. If you get 9 out of 10 correct, you are ready for cross-country planning.

Use verified apps like E6B.org to simulate problems and check your speed on the wind side calculations.
