Incredible video Jason. I have been watching your videos since day one of my PPL and no one can match my learning style like you. Your videos are getting me threw ground school. Honestly without them id be screwed. Thanks for helping pilots all over the world achieve their dreams. Inspired.
7/7 headed to 31/31. Answer for E6B: time: 1.25 hr, speed: 96 knots, WCA: 6 degrees left, fuel burn: 18.8 gal. In my ‘47 Champ, hand prop, the E6B is the most sophisticated piece of equipment on board! Love Old School! Great exercise!

Jason, I got my PPL last July. I never fully understood the E6B. This video alone helped me more than anything else. Because of this one video, I have decided to choose MZeroA for my instrument training.
I've been struggling with the steps on the E6B (as I'm studying for my Knowledge Test before I start school) but this really solidified how to do it, plus I learned how to do fuel burn. Time = 73mins Speed = 98kts WCA = -4 degrees left FB = 18.2gal Thank you!

This video over a year ago. I don’t expect to win but for those still learning. Time: 75.2 minutes, WCA:4.5 left, GS:96 kts, Fuel: 18.8 gals. Note, center grommet on this E6B is ginormous! Better quality units have a much smaller center hole.
Hi Jason, 7/7! Not the first response (darn!) as I'm on west coast, but here's my solution from the trusty whiz wheel: 74 minutes, 98 kts, -4 WCA, 18.5 GPH fuel burn.
Late to the game. But the reward to the video, was you showed me for free how to use an E6B. I’m sorry I missed out on the Lamborghini, or whatever the other reward was.

Jason would like to see you do a video on the E6B with the following problem. Altitude to lose 4000 feet. Planned decent rate: 700 fpm. Groundspeed 122 kts. time to descend, feet per nautical mile to descend and distance to start descent. This all can be done on an E6B.
7 4 7! Good explanation of the old whiz wheel! It was the best we had back in 1977 when I got my private license! Things sure have improved on that front!!
What a GREAT video, THANK YOU!!! Yes, would love to see you use that in your plane! LOL!! I'm WAY late to this, but the calculations were still fun on my (mini!) E6B. I got: Time:1:13:05/Speed 98kts/WCA: -3'/Fuel Burn: 18.1
I was going to get an electronic e6b but I can't see myself paying $80-$90 for something that my metal rotating e6b can do. This video helped me alot in learning how to use it properly
Dear Jason, I'm on my way to become a pilot. I know that with my 38 to start it it's a bit strange but I think it's better to start right now. Your videos and your content motivates me and gave me lot if new information and knowledge. I think this is strange that you have not so much followers and wievs.
Far too late to this party to win anything, but wanted to say thank you for the video, I've been trying to understand how to use and E6B for what feels like forever, and I think I finally do thank to you :)
Jason and everyone reading this post ------ -- E6-B. Why do we still teach ancient technology? The year is 2024. We have electronic calculators, and ForeFlight. Does learning a manual E6-B give a modern day student who is learning flight planning for the first time, a better understanding of flight planning? or is it a waste of time given our modern day technology? Do you guys think the E6-B should be thrown into the garbage can? Is it still worth learning given today's technology? If so...then why? Martha King's reasoning is to have a non electronic backup if the electronic calculator fails. What are your thoughts ? Any other reasons why a student pilot should take the time to learn how to use the manual E6-B whizz wheel? Anybody? Any airline pilots or want to comment? Anybody want to comment? Curious to hear your perspective. Are there any studies that cite it's better to learn initially using a manual E6-B? Some younger students say they just use their iPhone if their iPad fails. But that doesn't address the question if learning by a manual E6-B helps a student pilot better understand flight planning? Are we older guys just stubborn in our old ways, or is there a legitimate and rational reason to still learn the old E6-B? I am open minded and l'd like to hear your perspective on the topic.
7 4 7 good day Jason, well I may not be the first post up with the answer although I am going to get off the couch and go and brush the dust off my E6B ( Maybe even oil it up) ; and go back in time and relive some happy moments of learning all over again . Most excellent refresher Jason many thanks again.🤔🧐✅

Best explanation of E6B that I have ever seen!
On my home-made, paper printed E6B (which is somewhat resonably accurate) I got:
T= 74 minutes
GS= 98kts
Wind correction -7 (hdg= 264 degr)
fuel = 19Gallons
I found the wind direction side of E6B to be handy. Everything on the backside can be solved with very basic math faster than the E6B can solve it.
probably the most helpful simple video Ive ever seen thanku

Me watching this video two years later "oh I don't think I'm going to be the first to get the answer"
I think that E6B sort of grows on you (pun intended?). It sort of appeals to my visual-oriented mind.
Though i've never really understood how slide rules do their magic. I understand it has something to do with adding/subtracting of logs. But it still seems like magic to me.
