Where and how did you get the VAR to add to the TRUE HDG THAT = MAG HDG?? Thanks for the amazing video!!

[@LonelyWindchime]

They are on the sectional. Should be magenta dashed lines. If you are in the states, the variation will be lower because you are further from the pole

[@aeroposte]

Thanks Jeff for responding. In Canada, the variation is also shown on dashed lines, and the variation number is at the top of the chart.

hello do you have a video for calculating TAS given a mach number and OAT?

[@aeroposte]

Hello Paul. Not much use for Mach calculations in the videos I do for Private Pilot Licence, but I tried it. I selected Speed, tabbed down to Plan M#, entered 15 deg C, and Mach 1, and got TAS of 661.7Kt. Wikipedia says that Mach 1 = speed of sound = 661.49Kt. Pretty close. Cheers Jean René de Cotret

how do i calculate time en route on the flight computer?

[@aeroposte]

Hello Kai. Time en route in this case is leg time as there is only one leg calculated. If you have more than one leg, then time en route would be the sum of multiple legs. In this video, I only calculate the leg time from the set heading point to the destination, but en route time would be that plus the time to get to the set heading point, in this case about 12 minutes. So calculation of leg time starts at about 8:10 in the video, and is shown in step 4 in the summary at the end. Hope this helps! Jean

Hello, Awesome video I am just wanting to confirm that in Canada we are allowed to use the Sporty electronic e6b for our PPL ground school Transport Canada written exam? Thank you Lukas

[@Aleksandar6ix]

Hi Lukas. Here is the link to TC's website that shows what is allowed and under what condition! www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/licensing-pilots-personnel/flight-crew-licenses-permits-ratings/flight-crew-examinations/accepted-electronic-computers-flight-crew-examinations.html

very good for the first 2 min then your camera is not showing the E6B. I don't know what buttons you are pushing at all

[@aeroposte]

Hi Mark, Thanks for the comment... You are right, I was not showing the buttons for a good part of the calculations. Oops! I have another video using the Sportys E6B and doing similar calculation. Where I did a better job: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIDNd3iViNuXiKs Cheers! Jean

How did you get the variation of 14?

[@aeroposte]

That's a very good question. Two answers: it is actually incorrect, should be 13 W. And I should have gotten it from the top of the map by the dashed line where it says 13 W. Silly mistake. Jean

[@TLHRookiePilot]

@@aeroposte I am not saying you are wrong. I am a newer pilot and I was just learning how to do my nav log... so I was trying to see where you get that number from. Thanks for the info, I now see it on my sectional!

[@aeroposte]

@@TLHRookiePilot Fair enough, I didn't think you were criticizing. I just realized when I was looking at the number and discovered I was wrong. Cheers!

Well I wanted to listen to this video but after the 15th and ahhhhhhhh and ahhhhhhh and ahhhhhhh and ahhhhhhh I stopped.
