E6B Answer Video

m0a.com/e6b-quiz/ The answers to yesterdays video

[@annapolislawncare]

Thanks for making this video! Your last explanation of the calculation for time and distance from seal level airport when reaching top of climb was a little bit confusing, but after re-play made sense. It's your distance from the field that you are reading as 10.5-11 miles. There are many many more caluculations an e6b can help with, I hope you post more!

[@cassandramcgroarty6830]

needed help for my precalculus class and it was super helpful thanks so much, you saved me from my test tomorrow!

[@tonytheflyer]

That was easy, it took me about a minute per question and I was spot on. Thanks for the question, it was a fun challenge.

[@SquawkVFR1981]

Greet video!! Finally an instruction video for the flightcomputer. In working on the chapter of the flight computer for my PPL. Would you mind to make a short intro about: calculation groundspeed and heading, calculation gisposition, calculation actual winds? Would be awesome! Greetings from Hamburg Germany.

[@leocheung8864]

Thank you so much!!!

[@warriorchild]

New to the E6B so it took a while but got it with minor errors.More room for improvement with practice. Thanks Jason.

[@keithore8442]

If you converted the knots to mph would you still get the same answer?

[@pondbearflyer1193]

Nice refresher, thanks

[@jeckir23]

Your question 3 (starts at 4:18 and ends at 5:57) was how far would you be from the airport to get to the top of climb. The explaination ended up giving us the fuel burn of 10.5 to be exact but round up to 11 to be safe. Was I the only one that caught that or am I missing something. Help me out please.

[@oscarb9139]

Jackie Laurel If your question is: how did they get fuel burn for an answer when the question was asking about distance, then no you aren’t the only one.

[@SilensVenator]

The answer that he gives is saying that it takes 10.5 mins to climb out, not 10.5 gallons of fuel burn. What he says is that since this plays a role in overall fuel burn for the flight, you are better to assume it takes 11 mins so you carry extra fuel rather than planning for EXACTLY 10.5 mins of climb which leaves you with no room for error.

[@oscarb9139]

JesterHead The rate of climb is 500 rpm, the cruise altitude is 4500’. The time to reach cruise altitude from sea level is 9 minutes, which correlates to 10.5 miles at a speed of 70.

[@SilensVenator]

I know, I was addressing the confusion as to how/why fuel burn becomes a factor in the problem.

[@teampenske17]

In the last question, how does he come up with a ground speed of 70 kts? Since there is both a vertical and horizontal component, your cant figure that out with TAS and wind alone. So my overall question is, how do you determine groundspeed in a climb?

[@paologarcia4793]

the 70 kts ground speed was already given in the problem (question), he didnt calculate anything to get that.

[@teampenske17]

Yeah I get that. I'm just trying to figure out how you determine an actual ground speed in a climb without any complex trigonometry. Even if you know your TAS and winds how do you know what ground speed you would achieve in a climb?

[@SilensVenator]

It will be listed in your POH

[@kevinkavanagh2041]

Hey there is a better way to do this he actually lines it up perfectly on 5:09 in the video. align 5:00 in the hour section that can be for 500 fpm. Then on the outer black scale align 45 for 4500ft or what ever alt to gain or loose. The main pointer points to 70 for 7 min time. On the inner outer scale can be read for 70 that takes 10.5 nm. From the ground up has a good section that explains this.

[@lyingcat9022]

That's neat! I'm trying to logic out how that works...

[@lyingcat9022]

Line up 45 with 5::00hr (4,500/500) 60(sec) points to 90(9min) 70kt (inner) points to 10.5nm (outer)

[@Stolgrove]

Have Pipers PC-1 (E6B), it was a little off. Other than that I did well, I'd like to see some test on the inner scales of temp, pressure and density. Thank you

[@ethanschulz2067]

i got them all except on the last on I went across from the 9:00 and got 6.3 instead of going across from the 90 and getting 10.5

[@BradleysSupremacy]

100%

[@coolandmellow]

Hi Jason i only had to use the E6b for the 2nd wind question,because it can not be performed manually,however the other two were easy and can be quickly calculated manually without a E6b,using basic math and principles.Thanx again.I personally have an electronic one.I find that the manual E6b is confusing:-)

[@edsom26]

Hey Jason thanks for your videos, I have trouble calculating Top of Climb, I notice this video has some fast explanation on it. Could you please make a video just on this subject (TOC) ? That would be wonderful, thanks.

[@ZachD-wu3bs]

Why did you place the pen mark right of center?

[@joeislove]

That confused me too, until I watched more carefully. Jason did mention that his E6B has a bunch of marks on it already and if you look at the mark, you'll see that the one that's to the right of center is actually on the arc for 6, not for 12. The mark that's on 12 is harder to see because is on the bold vertical line. At some point in the past, Jason probably did a calculation for a 6kt wind from about 230 or so and either forgot to or was unable to erase the mark after he was done. Watch when he rotates the index later and you'll see the mark on 12 more clearly as the transparent cover rotates around to his true course of 170.

[@dannycnoble]

I know this video is way old but at 48 i just started flight school. So far Jason's videos are the best. So i will be siging up for his gold package ground school. That said i am a noob but the son of a math teacher so i learn fast. By i am always of Jason by 1 or 2. I do the equation step by step the way Jason days and i am always of by or 2. Like 1st question i got 49. He got 50. I have the asa manual e6b so not sure if each e6b manufacturer is off each other slightly. (I got sportys electronic e6b but i think i will send that back. Not seeing how it is 50 bucks better than the manual one.) But the bright side is having only had the e6b for 2 days and i am within 1 or 2 of Jason. I am pretty happy about that. Jason your vidoes are the best. Long enough to get the material across but not to long to bore the class.

[@cmritchie04]

I wish you would have kept the question on the screen.

[@1234av8tor]

I got all of them right. I hate the old e6b

[@lyingcat9022]

5:50 Wait... If you climb at some angle at 70kt(TAS), assuming calm air you would travel slightly less that 10.5nm (Pythagoras is a dick). Then if you round UP you would be assuming even better performance i.e. travel farther in the same amount of time, thus assuming you will actually have LESS distance to travel. And this would take away from your fuel reserve. I would think you should round DOWN to give more of a fuel cushion. Although if you were trying to climb over the Bravo at 10,000ft rounding down would put you closer to the Bravo at the top of your climb. But I don’t know this all might be negligible. :)

[@NumbToons]

that TOC time question was as easy as Sh**t. Dont even need a calculator for it.

I couldn't understand you your audio is failing Echo. !
