E6b Flight Computer Exercises

Find the density altitude for an airport with an elevation of 843', temperature of 7°C, and pressure of 29.83". Unit Conversion: How many Liters are in 35 US Gallons? (Use the marks on the outer scale). Endurance:

9. TC 180°, TAS 130, Wind 240°/20 kts → WCA? GS? 10. TC 045°, TAS 95, Wind 090°/15 kts → WCA? GS? 11. TC 310°, TAS 150, Wind 290°/35 kts → WCA? (Crosswind component high)

Move the inner scale to align the air temperature (+25°C) with the pressure altitude (5,000 feet). Look at the "Density Altitude" window. Read the altitude indicated by the pointer. Approximately 7,200 feet. Summary Practice Table e6b flight computer exercises

Your destination is 180 nautical miles (NM) away. Your groundspeed is 135 knots. How long will it take to reach your destination?

Your aircraft burns 8.5 gallons per hour (GPH) . How much fuel will you burn in 2 hours and 15 minutes ? Find the density altitude for an airport with

| Exercise | Given | Required | Student Answer | Correct Answer | |----------|-------|----------|----------------|----------------| | 1 | 120 kts, 90 NM | Time (min) | 45 min | 45 min | | 2 | 2.5 hr, 210 NM | GS (kts) | 84 kts | 84 kts | | 3 | 105 kts, 1 hr 20 min | Distance (NM) | 140 NM | 140 NM |

Ensure you aren't confusing Gallons with Pounds or Nautical Miles with Statute Miles. Endurance: 9

You cover 60 nautical miles (NM) in 30 minutes . What is your groundspeed?

53 minutes. Set the 60 index to 145. Look at 128 on the outer scale. The inner scale points to 53.

Set the rate index arrow to 135. Find 180 on the outer scale. Look below it to find 80 on the inner scale.
