Enhanced Flight Computer Exercises: e6b Takes the Lead

Set burn to 8.5 GPH. To find fuel used in 45 minutes, look at 45 on the inner scale; the outer scale shows approximately 6.4 gallons. Conversions:

• Minutes 0-4: Solve 5 time-speed-distance problems.
• Minutes 4-8: Solve 5 fuel burn problems.
• Minutes 8-12: Solve 3 density altitude problems.
• Minutes 12-15: Solve 2 wind problems.

Do 5 wind problems. If error >3° or >5 kt GS, redo – only E6B. Enhanced Flight Computer Exercises: e6b Takes the Lead

Complete the calculation—set wind, mark velocity, and slide to TAS—in under 45 seconds. Why it helps: Minutes 0-4: Solve 5 time-speed-distance problems

: Directly across from 45, the inner ring showed 24.5 minutes.

Exercise: Set a burn rate of 8.5 gallons/hour and calculate the total fuel needed for legs of 45, 90, and 120 minutes.
