The electronic E6B is equally useful when in the airplane, to help determine actual winds aloft, true airspeed, fuel burn, and descent planning. Find the density altitude of an airport with a field elevation of 843, an air temperature of 7 Celsius, and a barometric pressure of 29.83. 926 175 167 Correct! knots Correct!

Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing. Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. Will you need a crosswind correction?

It helps reduce the chances of a stall and puts you in a better position to arrest the descent and start your climb out. Pitch for Climb The next immediate action is to arrest the descent. After adding full power and arresting the descent, the next step is to retract the flaps. The order is aviate, navigate, then communicate.

Combining the Gweduck’s advanced hull with its counter-rotating propellers means differential power allows crosswind water taxiing impossible in floatplanes along with higher hull-in-water taxiing speeds. “We A not so obvious advantage is taxiing. Burke backed that up by saying the Gweduck has “excellent single-engine characteristics.”
