Slide the grid so the wind dot is on the TAS line ( Read Results: e6b+flight+computer+exercises+verified
: Locate the "Airspeed Correction" window. Align 0°C with 8,000 feet pressure altitude. Find the Indicated Airspeed (110) on the inner wheel and read True Airspeed on the outer wheel.

Here’s a curated set of (mechanical or electronic) with verified methods and answers . These cover the core pilot calculations: fuel, time, speed, distance, wind corrections, and altitude.
This write-up provides verified exercises for mastering the E6B flight computer, focusing on core flight planning calculations essential for pilots. Core E6B Exercises (Verified) Scenario: Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) is , Pressure Altitude is , and Outside Air Temperature (OAT) is Procedure: Set (Pressure Altitude) opposite (OAT) in the small wind window. Verification: Locate (CAS) on the inner scale; read TAS ( ) on the outer scale. 2. Determining Density Altitude Scenario: Pressure Altitude is Procedure: Set in the window opposite | | 3 | Density Altitude | Elevation 843 ft, 7°C, 29
Always ensure you are working with NM for distance and knots for speed.
Uses a sliding grid and a rotating compass rose to calculate the effects of wind on groundspeed and true heading.
: Locate the "Altimeter Correction" window. Align +25°C on the air temperature scale with 5,000 feet on the pressure altitude scale. Look at the Density Altitude pointer index.
Find the Groundspeed line (155) on the grid. Move along that line to the 8° left correction line. Mark a dot.
