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. V SO (or POH airspeed). Full flaps, 1.3

When are winds reported as true, and when are they reported as magnetic? If you don’t know which is which, and don’t how to apply magnetic variation, how can you figure out the crosswind youre confronting on your landing? Winds on the surface, and winds at altitude: both concepts are covered in the nav-log lesson.
