The E6B is a flight computer. It shows live flight, wind and fuel information for your aircraft and updates while it is open. Open it in flight from the flight menu with E6B. It is only available in aircraft. Click Close to close it.

Speed

• Indicated: indicated airspeed in mph, as shown on your airspeed indicator. It depends on your speed and the air density.
• True: true airspeed in mph, your real speed through the air.
• Ground: ground speed in mph, true airspeed plus the effect of the wind. This is how fast you move over the ground.
• Mach: your speed compared to the speed of sound.
• Weight: the current weight of your aircraft in pounds.
• Climb: climb rate in feet per minute. A negative number means you are descending.
• Latitude and Longitude: your position on the earth for the arena's map location.
• Time Zone and the date line below it: the arena's date, time of day and time zone.

Wind

• Direction: the direction the wind comes from, in degrees. 180 is wind from the south, blowing north.
• Speed: wind speed in mph at your position.
• Left Cross or Right Cross: the crosswind part of the wind in mph. A left crosswind blows from your left to your right.
• Head or Tail: the headwind or tailwind part of the wind in mph.

Below the wind box are the recommended power settings for your aircraft, for example emergency, military, normal and cruise power.

Fuel

• Fuel Remaining: gallons of fuel left.
• GPH: how much fuel you burn now, in gallons per hour.
• Time Remaining: minutes until your fuel runs out at the current burn rate.
• Range: miles you can fly at your current speed and burn rate before your fuel runs out.
• Burn Mult: the arena's fuel burn multiplier. At 2, aircraft burn fuel twice as fast as normal.

When the engine burns no fuel, Time Remaining and Range show "---".
