Winds aloft, true course, heading and groundspeed. Can you put all the puzzle pieces together and plan a successful cross-country flight? Use this quiz to test your flight planning knowledge and see if you can get a perfect score. How far will an aircraft travel in 2 minutes with a groundspeed of 120 knots?

During flight training, youll learn to plan your cross-country flights first by hand and use the E6B each step of the way. It will assist with flight planning questions and you can bring your electronic E6B into the testing center to use during the actual test. knots Correct! knots Correct!

Presumably, the pilot was flying on an instrument flight plan, as the flight maintained a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet (and ADS-B groundspeed of 125 to 130 knots) until about 12:53 p.m. local time, roughly three hours into the flight. Never exceed speed (Vne) for the V-35 is 192 knots.

Key Takeaways The E6B is a mechanical slide rule that helps pilots make calculations useful for flight planning Use the slide rule side to calculate time, speed, fuel, and air density calculations. Learn how to use the wind side to find groundspeed and wind correction angles. Say youre going on a cross-country flight.

So why was that flight so rotten? Eighty-knot tailwinds aloft and higher-than-normal temperature difference between the surface and aloft. Using my 80-knot tailwind and a stationary wave, my groundspeed and therefore penetration speed through the wave would be 160 knots faster than an upwind approach and theoretically more turbulent.

At certain airspeeds and with certain flap settings, the installation and instrument errors may total several knots. The TAS is used for flight planning and when filing a flight plan. Additional Aircraft Speed Categories Ground Speed (GS) Groundspeed is the actual speed of the airplane over the ground.
