Calculating Wind with E6B, Private Pilot Written Test Practice Question 

I would like to thank you for posting these videos. Currently, I'm studying for my Faa written test. I'm using "Sporty's" on-line ground course. Its good. But I like the way you explain how to use the "E6B flight computer" better. I will continue to watch your videos to better understand everything I need to pass and get a high score for test. My future goal is to obtain all of my rating within 5 years and become a commercial airline pilot first officer.

Terrific comparison between E6B paper and electronic calculator! Please include more of these based on Test Questions.

Thank you for this video I kept coming up with the wrong answer even on the electronic E6B. After your explanation of course all is good.

These videos are so helpful. Thank you so much for explaining it in detail. This concept and calculation makes so much more sense now.

Your videos are all sooooo helpful!! I can't believe I didn't come across them earlier in my studies, but I am preparing for the written exam and out of the thousands of videos I've watched yours always make it palatable. Thank you so much for all of your videos and you are greatly appreciated!

I have started learning calculation through your video. Even though I didn't had E6B computer I downloaded app from play store to practice this problem. I'm becoming more and more confident with the calculations through your videos. Thanks a lot.

I really enjoy your videos! Helping me a ton!!!! Um.....and you have nice hands too;)

It's amazing the way you teach. You don't try to seem like your a genius and make us question what you are saying. Excellent excellent excellent teaching. I know teachers who will use words that will confuse you and instead of continuing to listen you are busy trying to find out what the word means and miss out on the whole lesson. You are beyond amazing. A video that doesn't require playing back constantly is a perfect video

Always great videos from you. great learning

You’ve helped me so much, thanks.

Another great video. These are very well explained and not over explained. I will say that I can't ever get 246 with my Cessna E6B I end up with 242.

Your videos are amazing! Thank you!

Great instruction and your pace is perfect

Great reminder that both are great for testing and planning purposes on the ground and that's where both should stay...on the ground:) Excellent demonstration, thank you!

So glad I found you… you make this stuff entertaining and fun to learn! I understand this stuff now!!

Thank you so very much .

Brilliant thank you so much! Cleared it up properly after combing through multiple videos. Mark

Ur amazing thank you

love your videos. You should list the example problem number from Glime test questions

Thank you

G,day from Sydney Australia. It's been 22 years since I've practiced with an E6B. When you presented the written multiple choice question, I immediately started to picture the 360° of the compass and process the variation due to wind. Thinking to myself (she's got a calming voice, therefore the wind must be coming from....what side of the plane to push me 5° off my heading) then I thought, it's not changing the airspeed much....so, it can't be to strong, I better touch the pause button and consider the multiple choice options. I then started to reminisce of sitting with a sectional chart, pencil and ruler trying to work out scenario problems, in an old disused Court House of Law in a small country town with a retired airline Captain. I may have to watch your E6B instruction a few times. Thankyou for creating great learning resources. 🌏🇦🇺

This is great information. Thank you.

Intimidating at first thought, but I think I this video will make it easier for me. I haven't gotten to this portion yet in my studies but I'm sure this will help. Thank you!

I love your channel keep up the hard work

Expo Dry Erase ultra fine marker works great.

I have that exact one, although i do not know how to use it or what some things are… but im reading the manual.

thanks for posing. that calculator was 10x easier

can you do a video on all things VOR? I love how you teach and I can't get it for the life of me.

I hate this question on the test because I forget how to do it on the analog e6b. This question alone made me buy the electronic version. lol Taking the test in about 2-3 weeks.

High lady

Red ink pink is the best to mark the spot😇

E6-B. Why do we still teach ancient technology? The year is 2024. We have electronic calculators, and ForeFlight. Does learning a manual E6-B give a modern day student who is learning flight planning for the first time, a better understanding of flight planning? or is it a waste of time given our modern day technology? Do you guys think the E6-B should be thrown into the garbage can? Is it still worth learning given today's technology? If so...then why? Martha King's reasoning is to have a non electronic backup if the electronic calculator fails. What are your thoughts ? Any other reasons why a student pilot should take the time to learn how to use the manual E6-B whizz wheel? Anybody? Any airline pilots or want to comment? Anybody want to comment? Curious to hear your perspective. Are there any studies that cite it's better to learn initially using a manual E6-B? Some younger students say they just use their iPhone if their iPad fails. But that doesn't address the question if learning by a manual E6-B helps a student pilot better understand flight planning? Are we older guys just stubborn in our old ways, or is there a legitimate and rational reason to still learn the old E6-B? I am open minded and l'd like to hear your perspective on the topic. Dank je wel....
