WIND 270@20 HEADING 2700 @20 knots DESIRED TRACK HEADING VS TRACK
270@20 Tail wind exists so consider a lower power setting. With 73% and 2600 rpm we get 119 airspeed and 133 kt groundspeed. With 55% and 2350 rpm we get 108 airspeed and 120 kt groundspeed. It makes a difference of 2 extra minutes! Engine stress is much less, fuel flow is less
INITIAL CHECKS - MAP ACCURACY TO DETERMINE DISTANCE SCALE on CHART RULE
Aircraft: Cessna 172S C-GSCS White with Red/Black trim Owner: Yourself c/o Kingston Federal Pen, Kingston, ON Radio equipment: 2 NAV/COM, 1 Transponder with Mode C, 1 ADF receiver, 1 GPS ELT: Pointer Sentry Fixed ELT Route: CYGK (Kingston) Direct CYOW (Ottawa). Set heading point will be overhead Kingston Power Setting: Closest to 55% at your cruising altitude of 5,500’ ASL Weather: Assume temperature is 10°C warmer than standard at all altitudes; Altimeter setting 29.92” ; Wind at 5,500 ASL forecast to be 220°T at 18 knots Pilot Licence: PA321123 Allow 6 minutes at cruise power for circuit before landing at Ottawa. For start, run-up, takeoff and climb, allow fuel as indicated on the charts. Proposed departure time is 0200 EDT. Complete a flight log and a flight plan for the proposed flight.

Kingston is close to sea level so you can assume a climb from S.L. to 5500. • Interpolate between 5500 and 6500 ft levels • Distance not required since we are setting heading over the airport.

pick the cruise altitude chart closest to our planned cruise altitude. • 2400 RPM is in the right range (55%) when we interpolate. • At 10˚C above standard we interpolate halfway between standard and 20˚C above standard. • KTAS = 107 • GPH = 8.0 ****DISCLAIMER**** You can interpolate exactly between altitudes as well (your instructors may want this), however, for this course, the technique used in this example is all that is required.
Finding IAS • First find CAS on E6-B • Standard temp at 5500 = 4˚C +10˚C 14˚C • Assume standard pressure for this example • Set 5500 against 14˚C on the density altitude window • Find TAS of 107 on the outer scale and read CAS on the inner wheel. KCAS = 97 kts
Finding IAS • On the normal static source airspeed calibration chart compare KCAS to KIAS for flaps up . • KIAS = 100 kts

Apply winds to find true heading and ground speed • Winds 220 at 18 knots. • Follow the instructions on the back of your E6-B to find true heading and ground speed. • True heading = 029 – 002 = 027 • Ground speed = 124 knots
