5.3 E6B CALCULATOR

The E6B Calculator calculates Density Altitude, True Airspeed, Tail Wind, Wind From,
and Wind Speed, based on information you enter.
Calculating true airspeed and density altitude:
1)
From the Main Menu, touch Tools > E6B, enter the altitude shown on
the altimeter into the ‘Indicated Altitude’ datafield.
2)
Repeat for ‘Calibrated Airspeed’, ‘Baro Pressure’, and ‘Total Air Temperature’ datafields. (For Calibrated Airspeed, use the speed shown on the airspeed indicator. Use the current altimeter setting for Baro Pressure. Total Air Temperature is the temperature of the outside air including the heating effect caused by speed. For most aircraft, this is the temperature reading on a standard outside air temperature gauge.) The calculated figures for True Airspeed and Density Altitude are shown in the designated fields.
Calculating winds aloft:
1)
From the Main Menu, touch Tools > E6B, calculate or enter the true
airspeed into the ‘True Airspeed’ datafield.
2)
Enter the aircraft heading shown on the directional gyro or compass into the ‘Heading’ datafield. Tail Wind, Wind From, and Wind Speed are calculated.
