Calculating true airspeed and density altitude:
1) From the E6B Calculator Window, enter the altitude shown on the altimeter
into the 'Indicated Altitude' field, and press the ENT Key.
2) Repeat for 'Calibrated Airspeed', 'Baro Pressure', and 'Total Air
Temperature' fields. (For Calibrated Airspeed, use the speed shown on
the airspeed indicator. Use the current altimeter setting for Baro Pressure.
Total Air Temperature is the temperature of the outside air including the
heating effect caused by speed. For most aircraft, this is the temperature
reading on a standard outside air temperature gauge.) The calculated
figures for True Airspeed and Density Altitude are shown in the designated
fields.
Calculating winds aloft:
1) Calculate or enter the true airspeed into the 'True Airspeed' field, and press
the ENT Key.
2) Enter the aircraft heading shown on the directional gyro or compass into
the 'Heading' field, and press the ENT Key. Tail Wind, Wind From, and Wind
Speed are calculated.
