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 crosswind component for Runway 36 if the reported wind direction is 320 at 12 knots. Calculate the actual true airspeed given the following flight conditions.

Your aircraft will fly at a faster true airspeed at higher density altitudes. V SO (or POH airspeed). Will you need a crosswind correction? Power controls the rate of descent, and pitch controls airspeed. Crosswind Landings Short-field landings teach you to fly slowly and precisely. 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.
