  • When you are flying VFR you look for land marks and figure out how far they are from your track

  • Why do you have to leave the slide out? It's like it got neutered.

  • where is 5 SM on this thing. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find out how long it will take me to fly that far.

  • Kelly, you rock man. I have looked high and low for the answer you provided. Thanks for such great, clear instructions. You have made things easier for me. I have an electronic computer but don't want to rely on it alone being battery operated. Thanks again.

  • haha i watched this at ground school

  • duh

  • thank you very much for this video.

    i tried using the king school's dvd, but that one really confused me.

    5/5

  • I did not realize that the E6B could be used to solve trig problems. I have a Breiting B-2 sliderule watch, which has scales A,B,C and a compass rose but my first reaction to the problem at 3:36 was to pull my HP50g and solve the arcsin of 18/120, which is 8.6 deg. or 9 deg. (rounded). Very nice!

  • how do you know if you are off course or not?

  • It's about time someone made these videos. :)

    When I was working on my license I would ask pilots about the E6B and I would always get the same answer, "I don't remember how to use it."

    Sadly, I think I have fallen into that category.

    Thanks for the refresher.
