Wind Side of the E6-B
• Step 1 Place grommet over 100 (grommet is circle in center of the window)
• Step 2 Align Wind Direction with True Index
• Step 3 Place Wind Dot up from grommet
• Step 4 Align True Index with True Track
• Step 5 Place Wind Dot over True Airspeed
• Step 6 View Wind Correction Angle under Wind Dot
• Step 7 Read Ground Speed under grommet
Step 1 Place grommet over 100
• Place circle in the center of window over 100.
Step 2 Align wind Direction with True Index
• Place wind direction across from true index.
• Wind direction in this example is 050°.
Step 3 Place Wind Dot up from grommet
• Place a dot upward from grommet measuring wind strength.
• In this example, the wind is 20 knots.
Step 4 Align True Index with True Track
• Place TT across from true index.
• In this example, the TT is 190°.
Step 5 Place Wind Dot over True Airspeed
• Place Wind Dot over True Airspeed.
• In this example, the True Airspeed is 106 Knots.
Step 6 View Wind Correction Angle under Wind Dot
• View WCA under Wind Dot.
• The Wind Dot is 8° to the left.
• Therefore, you subtract WCA from TT.– Drift Left Var East
– Drift Right Var West
Step 7 Read Ground Speed under grommet
• Read ground speed under grommet
• In this example, the ground speed is 120 knots.
