This is a second example I made up to help you practice using the E6B Flight Computer to calculate Ground Speed which is used for Flight Time question on the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam. Practice!!!! Alan Feller
I agree, I think that the explanation is very good, but even his E6B shows the order to start off with is setting Wind Direction first. Doing it like the example puts the wind correction angle on the wrong side.
I believe you did this wrong. You first input the wind and wind speed then move to your true course. You may want to redo this lesson for new pilot students
Did you? Huh. I think that different textbooks, (i.e. Jeppeson, Gleim, etc.) will ask for different information and/or teach it a certain way. In the Jeppeson book, I used his exact method and when checking the answer sheet, every single problem was correct. So I’m not sure where the confusion is with this. I think you’re confusing this type of problem with something else but for anybody out there who is using Jeppeson, on the ground speed problems all of them came back correct, so use his method.
@@AV4Life strait from my Jeppsen flight computer. 1. Place wind direction under true index 2. Mark wind velocity up from center 3. Place true course under true index. So you're doing step 3 first and I think it's wrong.
squawk VFR - Ok so I tested this just now on one of the example problems. First, I used the process explained in the video. Next, I followed the steps you just gave me. I got the exact same answer, for both Wind Correction and Ground Speed. I even did it on a different problem just to be sure, and still got the exact same answer on both. And yes, I triple checked that I did everything correct. So cool, now we know. Both methods = same answer. 👍
