Insert a flightplan on your GPS. Activate the flightplan. Set the CDI to whatever the GPS says. Bug the same on the DI/HSI. Put the AP on Omni - and let it rip!

Oh dear! I haven't used an E6B since I did CPL flightplanning 25 yrs ago and I stopped carrying a CR2 in my top pocket just for show about 10 yrs ago! Only ever used it to calculate TAS!

I assume from this thread that these things are still being used?? Geez Pyro, I am impressed. A Gen Y techno geek the master of a 60+ yr old piece of technology.

PS: When I saw the title of this thread I thought someone was looking for an E6B for a museum collection!
