Kenny Keller explains the three scales on the E6B flight computer (A=distance, B=minutes, C=hours), points out that the E6B includes equations for solving problems, and gives practical advice to remain calm and use those equations during a helicopter checkride. The clip is a short tutorial segment ending with a standard YouTube call-to-action.
I want to Talk about the three scales on the E6B, the A, B and C scale. So I'm going to cover that real quick. Let's take a look.
So when you're working through these problems, A scale, B scale, C scale, remember, A is distance, B is minutes, C is hours. And then I also want to point out that right here is your equations for working the different problems on the C6B. So when you're with the examiner at your checkride and you get nervous, just remember the A, B and C scale and remember that your equations that you need to work the problems are right here. I'm not an expert at this. If I don't teach cross country for a little while, when I go to show somebody I have to sit down and review it, I don't just work with it enough to always be current, ready to go with it. But when you go to your checkride, you want to be good with it because he may have you do something like he'll say, well, hey, you know, your cross country planning looks good, but I think I want to go somewhere else. Now. Just go ahead and pull out your E6B and figure what the change is going to be in the time and amount of fuel that we're going to need. And then do your checkride and you're panicking and sitting there looking around. And I've seen guys do it. They're sitting there sweating and they're twirling around and they forget to look right here. So hopefully that helps.
