AVIA101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: E6B, Wind Direction, Wind Speed
Document Summary
Indicated to calibrated to equivalent to true: icet, conversion charts found in poh for indicated to calibrated, and e6b for other two. A line representing the path of a/c over the ground. Found by adding tailwind component or subtracting headwind component from tas. Geographic set heading point: fly to a town/ landmark and then set heading to destination, have to travel some more miles (takes longer, best method to use, set heading point is best if along the track somewhere. Overhead departure: fly in a circle around the runway as you climb (get to altitude first before departing along desired heading, less distance, can be used if no unique landmark along the way. En route departure: climb and turn to desired heading immediately. Start clock from 0 at set heading point. Orientation: align the map with direction of flight, towns are easier to spot this way (but hard to read town names/ numbers)
