The wind side (often called the "wind triangle") is used to adjust your flight path for prevailing winds. This is essential for accurate navigation.
Align the with 13.5 (135 knots) on the outer scale. Locate 38 on the middle time scale. e6b+flight+computer+exercises+verified
Rotate the inner scale until 18 (minutes) aligns directly beneath 45. The wind side (often called the "wind triangle")
The back side of the E6B calculates how wind affects your direction and speed. It utilizes a clear plastic slide, a rotating azimuth grid, and a reference grommet (the center hole).
