It will assist with flight planning questions and you can bring your electronic E6B into the testing center to use during the actual test. The electronic E6B is equally useful when in the airplane, to help determine actual winds aloft, true airspeed, fuel burn, and descent planning. 926 175 167 Correct! knots Correct!

Key Takeaways The E6B is a mechanical slide rule that helps pilots make calculations useful for flight planning Use the slide rule side to calculate time, speed, fuel, and air density calculations. You can also use it for unit conversions, estimating wind correction angles, and figuring out density altitude.

Imagine planning to land at a rural airport, only to find out via NOTAM that the runway lights are out of service at night. How to check: Use flight planning tools like ForeFlight, 1800WXBRIEF, or the FAA NOTAM search. You need to run the numbers before every flight. You don’t want to find that out in the air.

Their peripheral vision and hand-eye coordination barely work for pickleball, let alone landing an airplane.” You needed some familiarity with performance charts for the written test, but it’s during the nav log lesson that you must read and understand the performance charts of the airplane you’re actually flying.

I’ve even flown without talking to ATC or filing a flight plan. And no matter how many times I do that flight, there’s always something new to see. Maybe my attitude toward these flights is wrong. Should I treat every VFR hop like I’m departing into low IMC with a 10,000-foot density altitude at max gross weight?

The written exam, known as the PAR (private pilot airplane) or PPL written, is a multiple-choice timed knowledge test. Although the test is challenging, the PAR (Private Pilot Airplane) written exam has a 90 percent pass rate with an average score of 82 percent, according to the FAA’s 2023 statistics report.
