- Founder/CEO of The Abingdon Watch Co., Chelsea Abingdon Welch, shows us in this tutorial how easy it is to calculate time, distance, and speed calculations when you are flying using the E6B slide rule function on an aviation watch.

I learned more from this lady in less than 5 minutes than I ever learned in high school. Thank you for the video.
An excellent presentation thank you. Please forgive my one small correction. A nautical mile is a set distance slightly longer than an imperial one, 66 nautical miles = 77 imperial miles. Now a knot is a measure of speed as in so many nautical miles covered in an hour. A knot is one nautical mile per hour. Unfortunately, to say for example 50 knots per hour is actually saying 50 nautical miles per hour per hour which would actually be 3000 knots or 3000 nautical miles per hour. You only say 50 knots and never add per hour as it has already been said in the term knots. As I said, please forgive the correction, a tiny, tiny flaw in an excellent presentation but when I first became a pilot I cannot tell you how many times my flight instructor jumped heavily on my head and all the other students that ever made the "knots per hour" mistake. I hope that I have been much gentler and of some help. Thanks again, great presentation on a useful little tool that we pilots refer to so regularly and can now carry on our wrist instead of the big old E6B circular slide rule still in my flight bag. Take care and have a great day from down under here in Australia
I saw this video just a minute ago and was about to comment that knots per hour doesn't make sense. Then I looked at the comments and found yours, and I see I wasn't the only one who caught that. Otherwise, excellent video.
Best explanation i found so far. Thanks a bunch.
Well done, nice and clearly presented...
I bet i still mess up though when i'm trying to show my friends
my mind is blown and I didn't do any drugs! thank you.
Such a soothing voice. Easy to understand E6b problems. Always a confusing subject taught by CFIs. Great job
Hi Chelsea, you videos and explanations of how to use this kind of watches is absolute Amazing and Clear. Thanks very much.
You are most welcome
Thank you for the tutorial, Chelsea... I still learning how to use it. I'm amaze how they figured it out back then and the results is precisely like we are using calculator...
I really like this because I don't quite get the concept of it yet but you kind of explained it in an easy-to-use away it without having to know how it works
Happy to help! 🙌
Hi there, though I don't own one of your watches, let me tell you that your explanation is dummy clear and just awesome. Tought my little boy how to use an aviator for calculations based on your vid.
Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
That warms my heart. Glad to have helped :)
i m just in love of your voice emily good job done....
nice, i just spent like an hour tryin to figure the watch out myself 'til I got frustrated lol. thanks!
Any time!
excellent information!
Thanks for the video i learned from it how to use my watch
Thank you. I use a loupe but I love my slide rule watch ;)
that is CRAZY !
she is a brilliant angel.
Excellent , Im sooooo getting one ,
Hi Chelsea,
Thank you very much for the presentation. I've been trying to find out how those things work and I never got farther than the general idea. Excellent material.
I have one observation, though. One knot is one mile per hour. Hence, it's incorrect to say "knots per hour" - it's the equivalent of saying "miles per hour per hour"...
Cheers!
Plz explain how to measure on earth distance from this meter
There is absolutely nothing more attractive than a smart, confident woman.
Great tutorials!
Any recommendations for e6b watches for Gentlemen, preferably vintage-inspired?
ooh, there are so many kinds out there. It's not really our forte, but if you find a good one, let me know!
Damn she’s good!
thank you :)
❤
Cmon we buy Abbys watches cause look cool
The FMC does all that wizardry
Yea she be mad I called her Abby 😀
😈 you know I'm not an Abby... 😚
Well now i feel like a fool.
This is really super duper simple.
I suppose coming from photography its about balancing exposure. So i suppose those are some transferable skills.
2 * ours ^^ to mex city/ LAX airport means 700kph
This is the most beautiful woman I ever see in my life you very gorgeous girl ever God bless you beautiful
speed is in knots... not in knots par hour 😊
3:04 Knots per hour is an acceleration, not a speed ;)
Wrong.
An knot is defined as one nautical mile per hour, therefore knots per hour is one nautical mile per hour per hour. Which is approximately equal to 0.000142901235 m/s^2.
I love these watches, I love GMT watches, I love aviation watches----why, why, why do more than 90% of them use "24_00" instead of the correct "00_00"?!?!?!?!? There is no time called "24_00"!! At 23_59 it turns to 00_00!
(There is a 23_59_60 for the "leap second" that periodically occurs for the UTC atomic time keeper folks, but NEVER is there a "24_00")
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
You'd think that the watch engineers who design these whatches would know that!
That is a good point 🤔 ... ok, you’ve convinced me. I’m going to change the dials on future watches to 00
Wow! 😁😁😁⌚️⌚️⌚️❤️♥️ ♥️ Good to hear---I promise to buy the first "00_00" watch you have.
(I guess it comes with the territory that people who are 24 hour/aviation/slide rule clock/watch enthusiasts are going to be on the technical side of things....I'm a bit Aspergers--I've actually tested positive. For whatever reason, that really bothers me.)
I have a brother with Aspergers. Don’t tell anyone, but he’s my favorite. 😄
Not for naught, but it's knots, not knots per hour.
You need a girlfriend...
