Slow down your eye movement. When practicing, physically trace the scale with your finger until your eye learns the pattern. With repetition, your brain will automatically associate each scale with its function.

Each section includes (one easy, one challenging) plus a verified answer key.

Before touching the E6B, estimate the expected result mentally. If your aircraft cruises at 110 knots into a moderate headwind, your groundspeed should not be near 120 knots. Use the E6B to confirm logic — not replace it.

The verification step here is crucial because the E6B’s scaling is logarithmic; a slight misalignment yields an answer that may be off by a factor of ten. Verified answers eliminate ambiguity.

A transparent window with a sliding grid used to determine wind correction angles (WCA) and ground speed. Practice Exercises with Verified Answers 1. Time, Speed, and Distance : Turn 17° right (if left of course)

You plan to fly a true course (TC) of 194°. Your true airspeed (TAS) is 107 knots. The winds aloft are forecast to be from 330° at 8 knots. What is your required wind correction angle and your resulting ground speed?

Set the rate indicator (60 on the inner scale) to 98 on the outer scale. Locate 25 (representing 2.5 minutes) on the inner scale. Read the outer scale at 40.8 — interpret as 4.08 nautical miles.

First set the pressure altitude (843 ft) in the altitude window and align it with the barometric pressure (29.83). Rotate to bring the air temperature (7°C) opposite the pressure altitude. Read density altitude directly from the window — approximately 1,100 feet. Each section includes (one easy, one challenging) plus

True course = 090°, TAS = 110 knots. Wind = 040° at 25 knots. Find WCA, true heading, and GS.
