Next, we’ll use our plotter to measure the true course and the distance. Let’s look at the image provided and to start let’s draw the true course by connecting the Claxton-Evans County Airport to the Hampden Varnville, I’ll add an arrow to remind us which direction we are flying. Okay so our first step – let’s jump into the chart excerpt that they gave us and let’s calculate what this distance is going to be. We’re going to need to know that distance, we’re going to need to apply then our ground speed to that distance and then the last step that we’re going to need to do that we can’t forget about is to add our two minutes for the climb. One thing that we’re going to need to know is what is the distance for this flight. We’re going to have a couple of things that we need to calculate. In order for us to solve this question correctly. Add 2 minutes for climb out.Īll the answers are pretty close together so we’re going to have to be very accurate with this E6B. The wind is from 290Ëš at 18 knots and the true airspeed is 85 knots. What is the estimated time en route for a flight fromĬlaxton-Evans County Airport (area 2) to Hampton Varnville Airport (area 1)? ![]() ![]() So, let’s dive into that question real quick. ![]() Today we’re going to learn how to use this E6B to calculate our time en route and the easiest way to help us with that is we’re going to use an example question from the FAA knowledge test. How to Use an E6B Flight Computer for Ground Speed and Time En Route – Video Transcript
