It's amazing the way you teach. You don't try to seem like your a genius and make us question what you are saying. Excellent excellent excellent teaching. I know teachers who will use words that will confuse you and instead of continuing to listen you are busy trying to find out what the word means and miss out on the whole lesson. You are beyond amazing. A video that doesn't require playing back constantly is a perfect video

Thank you for this video
I kept coming up with the wrong answer even on the electronic E6B.
After your explanation of course all is good.

Another great video. These are very well explained and not over explained. I will say that I can't ever get 246 with my Cessna E6B I end up with 242.

These videos are so helpful. Thank you so much for explaining it in detail. This concept and calculation makes so much more sense now.

Terrific comparison between E6B paper and electronic calculator! Please include more of these based on Test Questions.

I have started learning calculation through your video. Even though I didn't had E6B computer I downloaded app from play store to practice this problem. I'm becoming more and more confident with the calculations through your videos. Thanks a lot.

Your videos are all helpful!! I can't believe I didn't come across them earlier in my studies, but I am preparing for the written exam and out of the thousands of videos I've watched yours always make it palatable. Thank you so much for all of your videos and you are greatly appreciated!

I would like to thank you for posting these videos. Currently, I'm studying for my Faa written test. I'm using "Sporty's" on-line ground course. Its good. But I like the way you explain how to use the "E6B flight computer" better. I will continue to watch your videos to better understand everything I need to pass and get a high score for test. My future goal is to obtain all of my rating within 5 years and become a commercial airline pilot first officer.

G, day from Sydney Australia.
It's been 22 years since I've practiced with an E6B.
When you presented the written multiple choice question, I immediately started to picture the 360° of the compass and process the variation due to wind. Thinking to myself (she's got a calming voice, therefore the wind must be coming from....what side of the plane to push me 5° off my heading) then I thought, it's not changing the airspeed much....so, it can't be to strong, I better touch the pause button and consider the multiple choice options.
I then started to reminisce of sitting with a sectional chart, pencil and ruler trying to work out scenario problems, in an old disused Court House of Law in a small country town with a retired airline Captain.
I may have to watch your E6B instruction a few times.
Thankyou for creating great learning resources.

Great reminder that both are great for testing and planning purposes on the ground and that's where both should stay...on the ground:) Excellent demonstration, thank you!
