The Ultimate E6B Quiz - Calculating Time, Speed, and Distance

[@jasonmiller7090]

Great stuff Jason. One heck of a teacher!!! Time: 74 mins or 1:14 GS: 97 Knots WCA: -5 to the left Fuel Burn: 18.2 rounded to 19 Fuel Required: .5 hr extra daytime 26 gallons rounded

[@jasonpeters9295]

Excellent instruction and presentation. Nice, slow, and simple. Right up my alley. The only problem I had was getting that E6-B into the Cessna 152 . . . I had to get rid of my CFI.

[@swatboy1234]

Incredible video Jason. I have been watching your videos since day one of my PPL and no one can match my learning style like you. Your videos are getting me threw ground school. Honestly without them id be screwed. Thanks for helping pilots all over the world achieve their dreams. Inspired.

[@diyflightsim4246]

I know I'm late to the party but I'm watching all the videos start to finish now. I got, GS 98 WCA -5 Dis 73.5 Fuel burn 18.2 Your videos are awesome!!!

[@latentspacex]

I appreciate you keeping this video channel alive for so many years! I really enjoy your videos

[@grantjohnson2577]

Jason, do you remember years ago we talked on the phone about creating an easy to follow E6B instruction with exercises? Great to see this video especially....it takes practice to use this tool well.

[@chasetorongo2363]

probably the most helpful simple video Ive ever seen thanku

[@ahetzel9054]

This was a fantastic video. Thank you so much. Probably gona watch it once or twice more and then try and do some of my own problems

[@BHuerta333]

7/7 so far!!! This was one of the best explanations on how to use the E6B on the web. Love the videos!

[@2good4u2b]

Two years late, but... Time: 73.5 min GS: 98 WCA: -4 deg (to left) Fuel burn: 18.4 gal Glad that my answer seems to be similar to the ones already present. Definitely needed this for help with the E6B (trying to get all my resources as I can reviewed to best understand this thing before I think of doing the electronic version).

[@norpilot4293]

Flight Time: 01:13:28/ (73.47 min) GS: 98 WCA: -5 Fuel per Hour: 15 Required Fuel: 18.37

[@richarddixon146]

You used an electronic one lol

[@abdulmismail]

I did mine on my CRP-1 (UK version of an E6B) and i got a very similar result. Flight Time: 75 minutes GS: 96 WCA: -4 Required Fuel: 18.7

[@aldohattonduran5227]

​@@abdulmismailI used an old fashioned one as well and got EXACTLY the same as you brother 🙌🏻💪🏻🏆 great work ✈️👮🏻‍♂️

[@nicholaskida]

Time - 73 minutes Speed - 98kt WCA - -4 degrees (making it a 266 degree course ignoring variation and deviation) Fuel - 18.2 gallons Thanks for the series!

[@matt.robinson]

I kept seeing different numbers - then I saw yours and matched exactly! Phew...

[@thembg34]

I rounded up and got 74min 98knots 18.5gph 4degrees to the left I got originally 73.5 min

[@thembg34]

​@@matt.robinson yes me too I'm glad that 1 matches mines I just rounded some numbers

[@evanhansen9357]

7/7 headed to 31/31. Answer for E6B: time: 1.25 hr, speed: 96 knots, WCA: 6 degrees left, fuel burn: 18.8 gal. In my ‘47 Champ, hand prop, the E6B is the most sophisticated piece of equipment on board! Love Old School! Great exercise!

[@danieldiriba9426]

TAS = 97KNTS, TIME = 74 min, WCA = - 5 degres, Fuel burn = 18.3 Gal.

[@alvincrain]

I also got 96kts, WCA -6, Fuel Burn 18.8, 75 min (1.25 hrs)

[@thegoodguystore]

E6-B made easy! Not so overwhelming once you jump in👍🏼 Thank you sir.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Great job! I'm happy this made it easier!

[@jsmithin916]

Jason, I got my PPL last July. I never fully understood the E6B. This video alone helped me more than anything else. Because of this one video, I have decided to choose MZeroA for my instrument training.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hey there! So awesome to hear that! We truly appreciate those kind words!

[@1dgram]

747 I like using a fine point dry erase marker for the wind velocity mark. time: 1:13:46 hms speed: 97.59 kts wca: -4.66 degrees fuel burn : 18.44 us gal

[@broll5344]

Speed 96 k WCA -4 Distance 120 nm Time 74 minutes or 1:14 Fuel burn 18.6 gallons I'm 7 for 7. Great videos Jason.

[@gsemak1744]

I've been struggling with the steps on the E6B (as I'm studying for my Knowledge Test before I start school) but this really solidified how to do it, plus I learned how to do fuel burn. Time = 73mins Speed = 98kts WCA = -4 degrees left FB = 18.2gal Thank you!

[@o.dillihay2010]

Best explanation of E6B that I have ever seen!

[@SatyaSanathani]

Great video Jason Answer from my Cessna E6B: Ground Speed = 97.5 Knots WCA = -5 degrees Time = 74 Min (Approx) Fuel Required = 18.5 Gallons😊

[@missmaria6524]

Flight time: 76 minutes GS: 96knots WCA: 5,5 to the left Fuel required 19.2 Thank you very much, you’re a great teacher!

[@nabildhifallah6964]

thank you for your great explanation of the use of the electonic flight computer EB6

[@mikecallahan8210]

Late to the game. But the reward to the video, was you showed me for free how to use an E6B. I’m sorry I missed out on the Lamborghini, or whatever the other reward was.

[@tadbarker7082]

That was the best video I've seen on that contraption ! Brilliant. Thanks from the UK

[@Rlkent62]

Still a Fantastic video. Love the E6B.

[@aldohattonduran5227]

Always a great refresher course ty for sharing ✌️ as always.. a pilot is always learning 🇺🇸✈️🛩️🛫✌️

[@shekinahgracegamboa9175]

Time: 73 mins GS: 99 kts WCA: -2 degrees Fuel Burn: 18.20 (19 for safety) New Student Pilot here. Super Confused on how to use the E6B, thank you so much for helping me understand it!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad you found the video helpful, keep up the great work!

[@maritestaylor8458]

7/7 You're awesome 😎😎😎. Will look into your ground school.

[@yamidgaray9074]

Jason, thank you for taking the time and making these videos.

[@jorgequartieri319]

Thank you, this video helped me with E6B. Amazing explanation and simple, the best one that I have heard in the last year!!!!!! "you are the best"

[@terryspurlock5872]

Time- 1:15 Speed- 96kt Wca. -6 Fb 18.8gph

[@TheXak662]

Me watching this video two years later "oh I don't think I'm going to be the first to get the answer"

[@jermster1741]

Same!

[@drcode4]

Catching up. Now 7 for 7. Thanks Jason. I haven't used an E6B in years. Good review and learned a few things.

[@aviatortrucker6285]

Jason would like to see you do a video on the E6B with the following problem. Altitude to lose 4000 feet. Planned decent rate: 700 fpm. Groundspeed 122 kts. time to descend, feet per nautical mile to descend and distance to start descent. This all can be done on an E6B.

[@DavidMiller-rw2gj]

7 for 7. Time 73.5 minutes (1 hr 13.5 min), speed 98 kts, WCA -4 degrees (compass heading 266 degrees to track 270 degrees), fuel burn 18.2 Gal.

[@ryanburns4198]

Hi Jason, 7/7! Not the first response (darn!) as I'm on west coast, but here's my solution from the trusty whiz wheel: 74 minutes, 98 kts, -4 WCA, 18.5 GPH fuel burn.

[@jrun411]

Thank you, this video really helped me with my E6B. I was using both, so you taught me both. Thanks Joey D

[@Andi0kramer]

Time:74 minutes Speed:97 kts WCA: -5° Fuel Burn: 18.25 gallons Thanks for the help with brushing up my memory for my checkride coming up!

[@geoffreygraham290]

I was just scratching my head yesterday trying to use this thing. Thanks!

[@leopoldomayoral6648]

Time: 74 min; Ground Speed: 97 Kts; WCA: Left 10 degrees; Fuel Burn: 18.5 Gal

[@georgiiorlov8003]

Dear Jason, I'm on my way to become a pilot. I know that with my 38 to start it it's a bit strange but I think it's better to start right now. Your videos and your content motivates me and gave me lot if new information and knowledge. I think this is strange that you have not so much followers and wievs.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

[@georgiiorlov8003]

When I'll be to US, I'd be glad to visit you and your school.

[@dbijenhof]

On my home-made, paper printed E6B (which is somewhat resonably accurate) I got: T= 74 minutes GS= 98kts Wind correction -7 (hdg= 264 degr) fuel = 19Gallons

[@ranjrog]

7 4 7! Good explanation of the old whiz wheel! It was the best we had back in 1977 when I got my private license! Things sure have improved on that front!!

[@inaschneider9856]

What a GREAT video, THANK YOU!!! Yes, would love to see you use that in your plane! LOL!! I'm WAY late to this, but the calculations were still fun on my (mini!) E6B. I got: Time:1:13:05/Speed 98kts/WCA: -3'/Fuel Burn: 18.1

[@flywithrob2544]

Answers are as follows : Time : 74mins Speed : GS 98kts WCA : -5° Fuel Burn : 18.50 US GAL

[@Rev.RayGowans4094]

You are a great teacher! Thank you!

[@SaraTompson]

Really great tutorial! Thank you! I need this brush up for BGI written.

[@skystryker]

WCA -5 Ground speed 97.5 Time 1hr 13 min or 73 minutes Fuel 18.4 gal at 15gph

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Looks good! Thanks for watching!

[@anaflorit_editor]

Far too late to this party to win anything, but wanted to say thank you for the video, I've been trying to understand how to use and E6B for what feels like forever, and I think I finally do thank to you :)

[@anaflorit_editor]

Oh and for the fun of it, GS = 96, WCA = -4/-5 degrees, Time = 75 min and Fuel Burn = 18.8 gal (let's say 19 for safety)

[@CCGR-2024]

7 for 7! This was a fun video and a great refresher for somebody that hasn't seen an E6-B in many years, Thanks!

[@anastasiat.9275]

This was such a great refresher and absolutely LOVED the large E6B…made things so much easier to figure it out!!! Thank you!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@n0rg]

How about using the giant E6-B as a prize in a drawing sometime?

[@jeraldkonkel]

I was going to get an electronic e6b but I can't see myself paying $80-$90 for something that my metal rotating e6b can do. This video helped me alot in learning how to use it properly

[@Coops777]

Very helpful thankyou Jason Great series!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

You're very welcome, thanks for stopping by!

[@207PH]

Enjoying this series. Just started flight training and this is very helpful!!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!

80k TAS, 270d HDG, 110/19, 120nm, 15gph. 97k gs, edge E, 7.5 min, 3 gallons

[@aciagriculturalconstructio2264]

I found the wind direction side of E6B to be handy. Everything on the backside can be solved with very basic math faster than the E6B can solve it.

[@DodgeyRog]

Time: 74mins Speed: 98kts WCA: -2deg Burn: 19gal (rounded up for safety)

[@TheJasonmurphy2005]

I saw you in passing at Oshkosh, the E6B being taller than you says a lot. You were taller than I had imagined.

[@patrickmosley5969]

This is great, really struggling through this section in the written test prep

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@bryant3483]

7 4 7 good day Jason, well I may not be the first post up with the answer although I am going to get off the couch and go and brush the dust off my E6B ( Maybe even oil it up) ; and go back in time and relive some happy moments of learning all over again . Most excellent refresher Jason many thanks again.🤔🧐✅

[@jamshidrakhmanov540]

Ground speed 97, WCA -4, time:74 mins,18.5 GPH

[@coffeeflavoredtoast5215]

Ground speed is 97 knots, WAC is -5, flight time is an hour and 15 minutes(roughly), and total fuel burn is 18.7

[@olivierXV]

Hi, I learned to use both the E6b and the circular but feel more comfortable with the CRs. My question is which one is the best and gives more capabilities of calculations

[@mikestout5332]

I take my FAA exam tomorrow and I was, and I was not looking forward to the E6B questions. I just wasn't getting it. This video changed that. Thanks

[@terencewright2223]

Excellent video thank you very much. However, not quite sure from the wind correction what heading to take? Terry

[@EagleSynthetics]

7 for 7. This really helped me learn the e6b well.

[@bobclark75]

GS=98kt , WCA=-4.5deg, MIN=73.5 , GAL=18.2

[@alanjwalker249]

WCA -5, GS= 98, time=73.5, Fuel= 18.4g. I am 7 for 7 as well!

[@waltmooredanwilson8754]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I wish you the best. Take care and God Bless.

[@adonismoviemaker]

I’m a little late to this but here it is :) GS 97 / WCA -4 / Time 74 min / Fuel burn 30 gallons 👍🏼

[@aviatortrucker6285]

This video over a year ago. I don’t expect to win but for those still learning. Time: 75.2 minutes, WCA:4.5 left, GS:96 kts, Fuel: 18.8 gals. Note, center grommet on this E6B is ginormous! Better quality units have a much smaller center hole.

[@CooperMcKay]

Gonna rewatch this, I'm still not great at the E6B. Mine is gross from being in my flight backpack I might buy this bigger one I saw on Sporty's.

[@lonhaenel3030]

Great video. But in the second to last example, you forgot to include magnetic variation in your adjusted heading. :) Keep up the great work Jason!!

Hey Jason, I am 7 for 7! 😊

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching!

[@keniqueliburd150]

Time = 75 minutes or 1:15 Speed = 97 kts WCA = -5 Fuel burn = 18.8

[@808_murda2]

Time is approximately 75 minutes, ground speed is approximately 98kts, wca is -5⁰ and fuel burn would be around 18.75 gallons in 75 minutes

[@gorobthomas5634]

Time-74 minutes Fuel Burned-18.5 gallons Ground Speed 98 Wca -4°

[@madhungarian3024]

I think that E6B sort of grows on you (pun intended?). It sort of appeals to my visual-oriented mind. Though i've never really understood how slide rules do their magic. I understand it has something to do with adding/subtracting of logs. But it still seems like magic to me.

[@mark1hancock]

Can you calculate fuel burn in litres rather than gallons or do you have to calculate in gallons then convert to litres?

[@BigKazgarage]

6 for 6!!! Thanks Jason!!!!

[@jaysmit9918]

Time: 73 min Speed: 98 kts WCA: -2° Fuel burn: 18.25Gal
