Well use the Sportys electronic E6B flight computer in this quiz when calculating flight planning and navigation questions. You can use any E6B flight computer to answer this quiz, though you may see minor differences in the results due to rounding. Show my results >> E6B Flight Computer You got out of 10 right!

Basically, any wind that blows across the runway or flight path instead of head-on or tailing the aircraft. You wont have time to be messing around with a flight computer or crosswind chart. This can cause severe upsets to the flight path of a light aircraft. Just what is a crosswind? And weve got news for you.

On the 9th of August 2023, a VX4 crashed at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire during a test flight over the runway. Then the pilot carefully climbed to 30 feet above the runway. The pilot kept the aircraft at 30 feet above the runway where it successfully remained stable for 10 seconds.

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. Miscalculating density altitude can lead to runway excursions and fatalities.

My student sat at the briefing picnic table outside my t-hangar and, with a “humph,” laid out the sectional chart, the dead reckoning planning chart, and his solar/battery-powered flight computer calculator thingy. I should mention that we were no longer going to a controlled, paved runway airport.

When the wind is blowing across the runway instead of along it, things get more challenging. However, the wind rarely aligns perfectly with the runway. Touching down with the aircraft’s longitudinal axis aligned with the runway. If the pilot makes no corrections, the aircraft gets blown off the runway centerline.
