Learn to Use a Mechanical E6-B Flight Computer Don’t let it intimidate you. For the pilots (often lapsed CFIs) who argue that the cockpits of turboprops and jets have flight management systems and backups on backups for navigation that will tell you wind correction angles, ground speed, time en route, etc.,

Flight Computers Flight computers such as the E6B have the functionality to calculate density altitude. Consult sources on the specific use of a flight computer, like an E6B, for determining density altitude. Under the performance section there are graphs for calculating take-off and landing distances.

Make sure to bring an E6B flight computer into your exam in case you need to calculate density altitude or find a temperature conversion. Example question: What is the minimum distance from clouds required in VFR flight at night in uncontrolled airspace at 9,500 feet msl? As altitude increases, density altitude decreases.

Plan for the Conditions During your flight planning: Look up the expected winds at your estimated arrival time. Calculate the crosswind using the wind component table or a flight computer, such as an E6-B. The Step-by-Step Guide to Crosswind Landings A good crosswind landing starts before you even leave the ground.
