Flip your E6B over to the wind side for these calculations. This is crucial for determining your True Heading (TH) and Groundspeed (GS) when dealing with crosswinds and headwinds. Exercise 6: Tracking In a Crosswind True Course (TC): 090∘090 raised to the composed with power True Airspeed (TAS): 120 knots Wind Direction/Speed: From 180∘180 raised to the composed with power at 20 knots E6B Steps: Match the wind direction ( 180∘180 raised to the composed with power ) to the "True Index" at the top. Put a pencil mark 20 units up from the center grommet. Turn the compass wheel to set your True Course ( 090∘090 raised to the composed with power ) under the True Index.
