The student pilot may initially struggle to understand the functions of an E6B flight computer. But pilots around the globe rely on this indispensable gadget for charting their flights, crunching numbers to determine time in transit, fuel usage, and necessary adjustments for wind shifts. Thats your true airspeed.

Altimeter errors can also occur due to pressure changes. DC = arctan(TAS/Vc) Where TAS is the True Airspeed. The Graphical Method Using a flight computer (like the classic E6B) or a graphical chart allows for a more visual way to determine wind components.
