How to Use an E6B Flight Computer for Ground Speed and Time En Route - AeroGuard Flight Training 

How do you fit that thing in your flight bag!!?

You make it look so easy. I'm practically an idiot trying to get through ground school and I have difficulty trying to understand it all.

Thank you for helping 20 minutes before a ground school exam 🙌

Simple Calculation but a bit complicated for beginners , Captain. Thanks From Ghana.

Wow thank you so much I ended up in IFR while flying my 18 passenger Cirus . I found my way out of the clouds thanks to this video!

Thank you. You're great teacher. I got lost in my cessna carrying my family of 5 and a dog. We were completely lost on how to get the distance to airfield. With this video. I and my family survived

Really great explanation. Understandable, to the point and not too fast. Thanks

you really are saving me on my navigation class brother, greetings from Mexico ma friend

Great demonstration. Thank you!

Perfectly laid out vid. Thanks!

That was actually really well explained. I'm currently reading through the Pooley's Book 3 on Navigation. As an aerospace engineering graduate, I find all the other elements are relatively simple. Navigation is too but it requires a lot more concentration and this explanation just avoids having to re-read several chapters.

Thank you. Precised and straight to thw point

Thank you so much for sharing this video! Really helpful!

Great video with a great explanation, makes it simple and easy to digest!

straight forward! nice vid

Thank You so much I understand how to use my E6B a more familiar now! God Bless You Guys!

Thanks from Japan!That demonstration is so nice!It helped me to understand

Thanks. A big help for a student like me.

Thank you Eric! So much better than the textbook explanation. Taking my written in three days!

That helps me to make the Exame ;-) Thank you . Hello from Portugal

Love how well this is explained, next week is my PAR Exam.

thanks eric this was excellent and much needed

Thanks! That was the first time I understood it.

Thank you so much Eric

Thankyou for this. I didn’t even notice the instructions on the E6B!

Thanks, from Germany

Thank you, I found this tool initially difficult to understand / unintuitive and this video helped a lot.

It actually makes sense now

Nice explanation!

Thank you …you solved one of my problems

Where to purchase this giant E6B flight computer ? It barely fits into Cessna 172🤣!

God bless you

I was having trouble with these questions and this helped alot!! Thanks for this I will feel successful now 🙏🏼

Wow, really good training video. TRY NOT TO SWALLOW SO MUCH, GET ANNOYING.

Excellent video, thanks!! Do you have any videos on how to calculate the true course and NM?

HELLO, WHERE CAN I GET SUCH BIG E6B COMPUTER. I AM TEACHING IN AN AIR SCOOL IN MEXICO. GOOD EXPLANATION

So was there any reasoning for them listing the 18 knots of wind in the question?

#THANK YOU JESUS 1st!!

where can I get a flight computer of that size?

No mention of distance covered during climb. 39 min. is ok, but it should be less than 39 minutes to be more precise assuming 2 min. is strictly for climb. i would calculate from top climb.

Do DPEs still want you to use E6B or sectional during the flight portion of exam - when he or she give you instruction to divert to an alternate airport. to calculate the distance, time, fuel use, new heading etc or do they allow you to use GPS and foreflight?

Congratulations! In Brazil there is no flight computer of this size. How do I buy, because it would be great to have to teach navigation lessons here at school. Please if you can help me I would be grateful.

Is the plotter a separate device from the e6b or is there a plotter embedded in the e6b? Asking for a friend.........lol

🎉

But why does the Gleim E6b say that I need to set the MAGNETIC course under the true index?

How to find true course without using plotter on the written test ?

Hi, I didn't get the part of the 57 in distance ?

Not sure how you got the true course of 045', I guess I am missing something obvious.

Why 2nd 85 knots was not 185 knots? (You added 100 knots to the wind speed for some reason)

True Course?

57*60/91 + 2 =39.5

Why does Aeroguard teach ancient technology? The year is 2024. We have electronic calculators, and ForeFlight. Does learning an 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.

That thing is, sadly, the size I need to actually be able to read the numbers 😂

I got 47 NM not 57 NM... I think there was a typo

Answer a question. Solve a problem.

Definitely don't make this the first e6b video you watch. This is a little advanced and he's skipping the explanation of detailed steps. Come back to it after a few other lessons first.

To much tuting
