Step-by-Step: How to Use the E6B for Time and Speed Calculations Calculating Time en Route Lets say were flying at a constant airspeed of 100 knots. That means itll take 24 minutes to fly 40 miles at 100 knots. That means our groundspeed was 90 knots. Calculating True Airspeed Follow steps 1-3 from the section above.
