Understand your E6B! Obtaining wind direction and speed.

UNDERSTAND your E6B. A walkthrough for the Instrument Pilot explaining how to obtain wind direction and speed, given course, groundspeed, heading, and airspeed.
Check out the first video: Using winds to obtain ground speed and heading: • Understand your E6B! ...
Remember, the E6B doesn't care if you use True or Magnetic, just be sure to use the same type of heading throughout the problem, i.e. if you use true winds, you will get true headings.

    It took me about 1 Month to understand this, and your video did it for me. Never could find anyone that explained it to me in a way i can understand. I hope you understand how unbelievably grateful i am to you. Exam in 3 days, thanks to you, I'll hopefully get it right!

    Thanks - Using the 'mode' concept helped me understand my E6B much more - For us beginners it is a confusing device. Once you "get it" it starts to become simple. I hope you've done a few vids for the other side too?

    E6-B. Why do we still teach ancient technology? The year is 2024. We have electronic calculators, and ForeFlight. Does learning a manual E6-B give a modern day student who is learning flight planning for the first time, a better understanding of flight planning? or is it a waste of time given our modern day technology? Do you guys think the E6-B should be thrown into the garbage can? Is it still worth learning given today's technology? If so...then why? Martha King's reasoning is to have a non electronic backup if the electronic calculator fails. What are your thoughts ? Any other reasons why a student pilot should take the time to learn how to use the manual E6-B whizz wheel? Anybody? Any airline pilots or want to comment? Anybody want to comment? Curious to hear your perspective. Are there any studies that cite it's better to learn initially using a manual E6-B? Some younger students say they just use their iPhone if their iPad fails. But that doesn't address the question if learning by a manual E6-B helps a student pilot better understand flight planning? Are we older guys just stubborn in our old ways, or is there a legitimate and rational reason to still learn the old E6-B? I am open minded and l'd like to hear your perspective on the topic.

    Taill wind --> GS faster , TAS smaller Head wind --> GS smaller , TAS Bigger When you carry tail , you are with Small TAS ( bag ) when you carry Head , you are with Big TAS ( bag ) During cruise : when Head wind , go kiss it ( nose left / right ) , correct the angle when Tail wind , look behind shoulder ( left / right ) , correct the angle No need to count during Landing Rw. Pilot flying an aeroplane , not counting trigonometri. Thats why Flying school not Math school. How to count ORGASMIC TAKE OFF , I lost my E6B ...
