E6B flight computer
I saw a pilot calculating his heading using a whiz wheel and I was bafffled by the way he did it.
I usually set the wind speed on the wheel, put a spot or a cross above the centre point and then rotate the wheel to the ground track compass direction.
He started by putting a spot underneath. i just couldn't work out how he'd done it or why he thought this was a "less complicated" method.
Anyone help me work out what he was doing ?
