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.
