E6b Flight Computer Exercises Better Link

| Mistake | Correction | |---------|-------------| | Forgetting to convert minutes to decimal | Use 60 on E6B outer scale for minutes | | Using CAS instead of TAS for wind side | Always use TAS for wind calculations | | Reversing wind direction arrow | Wind arrow points which wind blows | | Not correcting for magnetic variation | Add/subtract variation after WCA |

Why it matters: Engine performance depends on density altitude (DA). Too many pilots rely on the ATIS report; they don't calculate DA themselves. e6b flight computer exercises better
