How to Calculate True Airspeed with E6B Flight Computer - For Student Pilots

[@chip4104]

Dude, thank you for this video. I have been struggling to calculate TA on the E6B forever. You made it so simple and straight forward

[@PartTimePilot]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@renataislas4757]

The best video I’ve seen about true airspeed

[@PartTimePilot]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching

Rick this is another great video mate so easy to follow and it makes sense thank you Rick for the video mate

You swapped in R for an N in my name (Nick). Haha no worries. Thank you for the kind comments and for watching!

OML THANK YOU!! I have been sitting here for 30 minutes pulling my hair out trying to figure this out

[@PartTimePilot]

Glad to have helped! Be sure to check out our website for free content and examples on this stuff. www.parttimepilot.com

Are your indicated altitudes the same as the actual PA? In other words, lets say the current altimeter setting is 29.42, and we climb to an indicated altitude of 5200' feet assuming we set the current 29.42 altimeter setting on our altimeter. Isn't our actual PA 5200' + 500' = 5700' ? Does this make sense or am I analyzing this too much? Thoughts?

[@PartTimePilot]

I think i am making sense of what you’re asking and the answer is No… the only time indicated would match pressure altitude is when the pressure setting is also standard. You are correct in your example that we would have a pressure altitude of 5700’ at that altimeter setting.

Thank you!

Thanks. Very simple and to the point

i come to this video so often lol

[@PartTimePilot]

I love it! Thanks for watching

what about the wind direction?

[@PartTimePilot]

Wind direction is not needed for computing true airspeed. It’s used to compute ground speed which we have a video for that as well if you check out our page
