E6B Page
WingX’s E6B page packs a tremendous amount of pre-flight and in-flight functionality.
This chapter describes the many conversions, including pressure/density altitude, winds aloft,
fuel consumption, endurance, headwind/crosswind, distance-groundspeed-time, and wind
chill calculations.

ingX’s multi-page E6B adds functionality and separates the functions into logical sub-pages to
make navigating the E6B easier. Fast data entry is made possible by WingX’s extensive use of pulldown
menus (for conversions) and popup menus for fast data entry. In addition, values are
propagated to other textboxes when it makes sense to do so, thereby eliminating the double-entry
The E6B sub-pages are:
• Conversion: For temperature, distance, speed, weight, volume, and pressure conversions. In all,
WingX has over 135 possible conversions.
• Altitude: For pressure altitude, density altitude, heat index, relative humidity, and true altitude
calculations.
• Wind: For winds aloft, heading, ground speed, wind correction angle, as well as headwind and
crosswind calculations.
• Performance: For distance/speed/time, fuel usage and consumption, and IFR climb rate and climb
angle calculations.
• Time: For adding and subtracting times, and for calculating flight/block times.
• Miscellaneous: For Wind Chill calculations.
