: A European aviation weather briefing lists visibility as 8 kilometers. Convert this distance into nautical miles.

You have 20 gallons of usable fuel remaining. Your fuel flow is 8 GPH . How much flight time remains? Verified Answer: 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes). 3. Wind Correction Angle (WCA) and Groundspeed (GS) Using the wind side of the E6B (the plotting board). Scenario: True Course (TC): 090° True Airspeed (TAS): 130 knots Wind Direction (from): 360° Wind Velocity: 20 knots Steps: Place the grommet on a convenient line (e.g., 100).

Find on the outer scale and align it with 14 on the middle time scale. Without moving the disk, locate the 60 Index . Read the value directly above the index on the outer scale. Verified Answer: 120 knots Exercise 1.3: Calculating Distance Covered

Using indicated airspeed instead of true airspeed for wind problems — at higher density altitudes, the difference can significantly distort results.

Read minutes on the middle ring and hours/minutes in the inner cutout window. Misinterpreting 13 as 130 vs 1.3 or 1300.
