first off, i want to thank you for your great way of explaining things, it really helps. I have an observation it might not be critical on this example that you are showing us; but all E6-B flight computers have steps to follow, even thought the answer for ground speed shows to come up correct either doing it with the listed steps on the computer or following your direction, but when you follow the steps on the E6-B it starts by telling you to use: 1. Rotate wind direction to under true index (you started with the True course, which is step 3) 2. Mark wind speed up from center hole 3. Rotate true course to under true index 4. move slide to put wind dot over TAS arc 5. Read ground speed under center hole 6. Read Wind correction angle (WCA) under wind dot your WIND DOT (the one you marked with a pencil ended up on the right side) but if you follow the steps on the E6-B computer ends up on the left side which in other questions might required for you to either ADD or SUBTRACT. thanks again for your teaching methods. it was just an observation
it works out the same answer Alan show us how to work time Distance and Enroute and ground speed. this all he show us. He not saying anything about compass heading. all he saying his Time distance Ground Speed and wing Speed. not what true Course .
Exactly explaining it like my instructor did. But this guy just got the Orville medal for 50 years instructing, no accident and no violation. Dr. Feller, you are really cool!
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Terrence Kohen i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
This is really incredible and impressive, you have articulately answered that question, I'd be your perfect student,i definitely will watch all your content. Please tackle more questions on the Vlog,looking forward to more! Cheers!
That was really great. You MUST become an instructor you will be a great instructor. By the way, re: your comment - the "Airlines" pilots get their calculations to within 15 seconds. Yep. The reason they are sometimes late is due to delay from other reasons like air traffic routes hold ups, delayed departure times, avoiding bad weather, passengers not responding to last call for boarding etc.
Here's the problem though. The scale on your plotter does not necessarily match the scale on the picture of the sectional they give you in the testing supplement. I would use apiece of paper and tick off the marks on the scale that is printed on the supplement page to get your distance. You will find your calculations are much more accurate. It doesn't take much for your calculation to be off as the differences in time in the test answers leaves little room for error.
They re-did the book, the scales are all off. I'm watching along and measuring and I am getting about 40NM. One of my ground school teachers at Embry Riddle gave the advice of using scrap paper and using the scales on the charts. The down side to that, not all the charts are the same size, some are shrunk, so 10NM is off by a inch or two on some charts.
The wind side of the E6B... 1). Put your grommet on the "100" line... 2). Rotate your "degrees" to the winds aloft speed... 3). Pencil in your wind speed... 4). Rotate the degrees to your True Heading... 6). Slide your wind dot to your True air speed and read your groundspeed on the center of the grommet and your wind-correction angle (left or right) on the wind dot and you'll find your lost minute... Your way is double, confusing work...
I think in 2. you mean rotate to the wind direction not speed? Either way, this is the correct way to do it - if you it the way he shows (true course first) you’ll end up with the correction being on the wrong side.
HELLO.. I don't know if anybody else spotted your mistake..!! When you're done your calculation Number out it Is should 80nt not 79nt..! Video AT 9.12 you can see your mistake... Your pencil mark wasn't on the line...
Surely, when you’re in the wind side you plot the wind direction and speed first, not the true course. If you put the true course in and plot wind speed then turn to the wind direction, your correction will be on the wrong side. The idea is to couple wind direction and speed, not true course and wind speed.
Sadly it is, a lot of calculations/math for these exams throughout your aviation carrier.. more so if your instruments failed you need to "know" this.. but we all know we forget it.
