Find TAS from Calibrated Airspeed (CAS) = 95 knots.
How much does 45 gallons of standard AvGas (100LL) weigh?
Find the "Naut" arrow and "Stat" arrow on the outer scale. Align 150 with "Naut."
Chris didn’t hesitate. The fear was gone, replaced by a quiet, mechanical rhythm. He flipped the E6B over to the calculator side—the “computing side” with its nautical mile scales. He placed 60 on the outer ring opposite the 98 on the inner ring (the “speed index”). Then he found 47 on the outer ring (minutes) and looked at the inner ring.
This is less about the wheel and more about the scales, but use the E6B’s drift lines.
He fumbled with the circular disc, rotating the transparent window until the wind direction (270°) lined up with the true index at the top. He made a small pencil dot 25 knots up from the grommet—the little metal center rivet. That’s the wind vector , he reminded himself. The invisible fist pushing you sideways.
I can provide for any of these scenarios!
You are flying a Cessna 172 with a True Airspeed (TAS) of 120 knots. You need to fly a leg that is 85 nautical miles long.
