  1. Navigating With The E6-B Whiz Wheels Make Whiz Kids Written for the Notre Dame Pilot Initiative By the Pilots of the University of Notre Dame “Teaching the Science, Inspiring the Art, Producing Aviation Candidates!”

  2. Quote “A bird flies according to mathematical principles.” Leonardo DaVinci 1505

  3. Swiss Army Knife • Cut electrical wires during fire or splicing frayed wires • Cutting the ribbon on a gift plane • Cutting off your seat harness if you need to bail out • Use the magnifying glass to better read sectionals • Use it to bang on an indicator if you have them • Tightening screws • Amputating your leg after a crash • To get a knob unstuck (radios or dipstick) • Cut a parachute line after arriving on the ground • Open the ELT hatch to manually activate the ELT • Unclog static port • Intimidating other pilots while waiting to takeoff • Keep away hijackers, go for the jugular N D P I

  4. Roadmap • Conversions • Time, Speed, Distance Problems • Fuel Problems • Density Altitude & TAS Problems

  5. Slide Rules • Time is always on the inside scale • Distance or Gallons is always on the outside scale • http://www.asa2fly.com/files/support/E6B_Manual.pdf

  6. Conversions • Gallons to Pounds • 1 gallon = 6 pounds • 38 pounds = 6.4 gallons • And vice-versa

  7. Conversions • Nautical to Statue Miles • 1NM = 1.15SM • 33NM = 38SM • And vice-versa

  8. Conversions • Celsius to Fahrenheit • 15C = 59F • 0C = 32F • And vice-versa

  9. Time, Speed, & Distance • Used with Dead Reckoning Flying • Accurate • Never fails due to lack of electricity or signal

  10. 30 Miles in 8.5 Minutes Going 211 Kts, you can fly how far in 4.5 hours? 211 * 4.5 = 950

  11. Fuel Consumption • Very similar to Time, Speed, Distance Problems • Time is always on inside scale • Gallons or Pounds of Fuel

  12. Archer 11ND burns 9.5 GPH How long can you fly on 13 gallons? Refueled 35 Gallons Fly for 3:40 1:22

  13. Altitude & Airspeed Adjustments • You can find Density Altitude & True Airspeed • Density Altitude is the pressure altitude corrected for temperature (what the airplane really “feels”) • True Airspeed is the airspeed corrected for altitude and temperature (how fast the airplane is moving through the less dense air)

  14. DA=6000 TAS=66 Read Density Alt Set Temp & Alt 4000 feet 20 degrees above std DA=6000 TAS=126 15+20-8= 27 degrees C = 80 degrees F Liftoff 60KIAS ? DA ? TAS

  15. WD WV TH TAS TC GS Wind Calculations • Can find groundspeed and wind correction angle given wind data (Focus in this course) • Can find wind data given groundspeed and wind correction angle • Can solve two step problems involving finding time to station knowing TAS & Wind

  16. WCA=7° GS=99
