Printable E6-B Flight Computer...or at least the front side of it! This PostScript program renders an E6-B (you can also get a PDF version which is identical). An E6-B is a circular sliderule customized for aviation use. A commercially made model would also have a wind/heading plotter on the reverse side.
1 mar 2024 · E6B practice. This is a free mini-app from David Megginson for fellow afficionados of the classic aviation E6B circular sliderule (or for student pilots still forced to learn to use it). You can solve practice problems for either the wind side or the calculator side.
Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS): E6B, NavLog Calculator, Weather Reports, METAR, TAF, Wind Components, Instrument Simulator, Weight and Balance, Pressure Altitude, Density Altitude, True Air Speed, and a lot more.
FLIGHT COMPUTER The flight computer has two sides; the calculator side is used to work problems involving time, distance, speed, fuel consumption, true airspeed, nautical to Statute conversions, off-course, altitude, and multiplication and division. The wind side is used to determine the effect of wind on the aircraft.
THE FLIGHT COMPUTER AND NAVIGATION PLOTTER COMPUTING SIDE OF E6B • Distance, Speed, and Time Enroute • Fuel Consumption and Duration • Computation of True Airspeed using Temperature and Altitude • Determination of Density Altitude • True Altitude Calculation & Interpellation techniques for interpreting temp/alt data WIND SIDE OF E6B
The 10 base. Most calculations are made on a base of 10. 1 x 10 = 10. 10 x 10 = 100. 100 x 10 = 1,000. We use for most base-10 calculations. The 60-rate. Most time-based calculations are on a base of 60. 1 hour = 60 minutes. 2 x 1h = 120 minutes. Hours can be expressed as a decimal (10-base) or with minutes (60-base)
This document provides instructions on how to use an E6B flight computer to perform various flight calculations. It covers calculating wind correction angle and ground speed, flight time per leg, fuel burn per leg, and density altitude.
