Thanks, I read the each page of the Instrument Commercial Manual. This was never shown. I really appreciate your efforts to help us!!!!!!! On to the next question.
Bro I ALWAYS ALWAYS forget how to do this step. And i always come here to see this same vid before every checkride to see this exact step. I did it over 6 times already throughout the course of a year haha.
Not even a CFI yet you are better than mine. When I still wouldn't understand something after my instructor would halfway explain, he would get an attitude problem and roll his eyes.
This helps tremendously! I take my IRA written in a few days and the KCAS problems were always a bit tricky for me. Thanks for the explanation man! Edit: I took the IRA Written about a week ago and got 100%! There weren't any questions regarding CAS on my specific test, but I now know a very easy way to get it from my E6B thanks to this video. Take care.
Thanks for the video! Just a side note reminder: "Calibrated" means corrected for position and mechanical errors that are unique to each aircraft and different airspeeds, attitudes, configurations (flaps). For example, the 172s POH has an airspeed calibration chart Performance Section 5 Figure 5.1 to convert KCAS to KIAS. There is also a chart for Stall Speeds KCAS and KIAS Figure 5.3. In other words, you can derive TAS and CAS on an E6B given PA and OAT, for testing purposes, but to convert KIAS (from ASI) to KCAS to KTAS you need a POH. If your aircraft airspeed indicator DOES NOT have a TAS feature, you could use E6B and POH to calc TAS. REALITY CHECK, no one is going to do this while flying, but I am just trying to make a point of the necessary connection between E6B CAS and POH CAS-IAS. 1) Whatever altitude you are flying, get Pressure altitude by dialing 29.92 in Kollsman window. 2) Get OAT in Celsius from temp gauge. 3) Read Indicated airspeed from ASI and convert to KCAS with POH. 4) On E6B Calc Density Altitude as in the video 5) Take KIAS-KCAS conversion from POH and find it on CAS inner dial on E6B and corresponding TAS on outer dial. This is the correct way to connect KIAS (indicated airspeed from ASI) to TAS. To simplify, the E6B CAS means nothing, in the real world, without making a link to POH conversion chart, KCAS to KIAS. Sorry, got a bit nuanced!
Now I have to get stronger glasses.Thanks a lot Obama. Seriously. This is helpful to know how to work the problem on the manual but I still will use elec for accuracy but at least now I understand how the number is arrived at.
anyone here know how to get TAS with pressure altitude and temperature? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it out and i already knew TAS and CAS were linear so I thought this video would help but I'm still at a loss here. I don't have a calculated airspeed to go by but i have a lot of other miscellaneous information that seems useless for the problem at hand.
Did you use the altimeter setting of 8k feet as your pressure altitude? Is that accurate? Don't you need to figure out your pressure altitude? Doesn't your pressure altitude vary from the indicated altitude on the altimeter?
I used the window on the left side and got wrong numbers, wondering what hinted you to use the window on the right side? I mean they both have pressure alt and temp scales..
Look up the def on CAS. It's something ineternal to the system. It's worse at low speed, but negiglible at cruise speed. The FAA Airmans Information book says this. I believe it said CAS == TAS at cruise. Or elsewhere.
Thank you, I was watching a video on cross-country flying by another (somewhat famous) channel and the dude just zoomed past this and I was all confused.
I think the answer would be 154 knots. You and the book said the outside air temperature at 8,000 feet is +8 degrees celcius. Using my E6B, I got to 154 knots using +8 degrees. I think you said 157 because you're using -8 degrees celsius by accident.
just to clarify..... is the PA the same as the cruising altitude? At the time of flight, what if the reported METAR/ATIS Altimeter setting was 29.42 vs 30.42 ? Would the PA still be the same as the cruising altitude? In other words, if our cruising altitude was 8000 feet, while our Altimeter setting (real pressure as reported by METAR/ATIS) was 29.42, would our PA be 8500' feet? or if our altimeter setting (real pressure as reported by METAR/ATIS) was 30.42, would our PA be 7500'?
HEY! I CHECKED YOUR CHANNEL AND THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE STUFF LIKE THIS ON IT! THANKS FOR THE VID! also take me flying! looks like you live not far from me and im just getting into this
On the flight plan it shows "Cruising Altitude" of 8,000' To calculate your problem you need "Pressure Altitude" which is what the altimeter reads when it is set to 29.92". 29.92" is normally set when flying above 17,999'. Then you are flying "Pressure Attitudes" Below that altitude you are setting the altimeter to the local barometric pressure to read "cruising altitude" which is the altitude above sea level NOT "pressure altitude". Since you do not know what the "Pressure Altitude" is this question can not be answered correctly. The video does show the correct procedure IF you used pressure altitiude.
Thank you i have the same book as you and this got me i just could not get my head round it to do it, but with this video i can do it now thank you for show us how it done on this video great job and great video mate thank you
My Instructor made this way more complicated than necessary!! You the best dude. Thanks!
Not all hero wear capes. Thank you very much
+David Rodríguez lol thanks
also studying for instrument this helped big time. thanks for making it nice and simple
+Airick Burn Glad to help!
I’ve always hated the whiz-wheel. Now thanks to you, I hate it a little less.
Dan Halgren lol glad to help
Thanks, I read the each page of the Instrument Commercial Manual. This was never shown. I really appreciate your efforts to help us!!!!!!! On to the next question.
+Tiffani Shiro my pleasure!
Thank you thank you thank you. I'm also studying for my instrument and your explanation saved me an hour of frustration.
Brian good stuff!
Thank you very much for this! Couldn’t find any video on how to calculate CAS. Appreciate!

Works great. Im using the same book and same E6b from ASA and was working on the same question. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the update
Very well put. And nice to see how the real world application would be performed.
Excellent comment. Thank you.
5 years later, and you’re still helping create baby pilots haha
I love you
My pleasure
After watching this, I'm not sure why I couldn't figure it out, haha! THANK YOU!
Hey, thanks! Very good explanation; helped me a lot in understanding how to do this on the exam (which is coming up!). Thanks!
+AAYGENTMULDER Hey, glad to help. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much for that video. I was going crazy trying to find the answer. You did a great job with the video.
Now I get it
Now I have to get stronger glasses.Thanks a lot Obama. Seriously. This is helpful to know how to work the problem on the manual but I still will use elec for accuracy but at least now I understand how the number is arrived at.
This helped. I'm pretty new to this.
Glad to help!
adamsın kardeşim allah razı olsun
Great video. Helped lots. Thanks.
HouseCiliviel my pleasure 👍🏻
Great explanation. Thank you!
Timothy Nicholson glad I was able to help.
helpful, but this video could be much shorter

Thank you my dude
Can you use an electronic e6b? With me using bifocals it's hard using this method
Thanks! the video helped me a lot
Edwin Rosales Great to hear!
You saved my life, what a hero :D Thank you!
+Jairo Gutierrez glad to hear. Thanks!

Working on my IFR now. Thank you, great explanation!
working on my ppl now but its great to know how to fully use the e6b. Thanks !
Thank you this was very helpful 🙂
Great job walking through it helped me a lot thanks!
Never have I ever.....calculated or used calibrated airspeed
Many thanks for this very useful video.
Kemal CAKI my pleasure!
You Da'Man THANKS!!!
No you da man haha. Thanks.
Thank you this helped so much
Thank you very very much! You helped solve the confusion in my head!
Thank you sir. Very helpful.
Thanks Tyler, I really appreciate making it simple. I am working on instrument written test. This video helped a lot.
what is calibrated airspeed used for?
Look up the def on CAS. It's something ineternal to the system. It's worse at low speed, but negiglible at cruise speed. The FAA Airmans Information book says this. I believe it said CAS == TAS at cruise. Or elsewhere.
Great info
Thank you, really well explained
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Glad to help!
This whole time I was using 80 TAS as 180 instead of 18. Thank you. This video saved a lot of aggravation
SnipingLive glad I could help.
Thanks. I had the concepts in place, just not the execution.
Braden Pintar glad my video helped.
is this paper or plastic model ?????
Dude. Thank you so much. You are a life saver. Or should we say “checkride saver”
My pleasure
Thank you so much 👍🏼👍🏼
thanks a lot! way easier to understand than those fucking manuals!
+pierre vuaroqueaux Awesome! Glad I'm able to help! I didn't expect this video to get so many positive reviews.
Good job, Thank you
*8 plus 5 i dont understand where does the 5 come from* !?
Thank you, I was watching a video on cross-country flying by another (somewhat famous) channel and the dude just zoomed past this and I was all confused.
Thanks man
dude you just gave one more correct answer in my ifr written! great job
Right on!
Thank you so much man
I think the answer would be 154 knots. You and the book said the outside air temperature at 8,000 feet is +8 degrees celcius. Using my E6B, I got to 154 knots using +8 degrees. I think you said 157 because you're using -8 degrees celsius by accident.
same!!! thanks a lot!
just to clarify..... is the PA the same as the cruising altitude? At the time of flight, what if the reported METAR/ATIS Altimeter setting was 29.42 vs 30.42 ? Would the PA still be the same as the cruising altitude? In other words, if our cruising altitude was 8000 feet, while our Altimeter setting (real pressure as reported by METAR/ATIS) was 29.42, would our PA be 8500' feet? or if our altimeter setting (real pressure as reported by METAR/ATIS) was 30.42, would our PA be 7500'?
Thank you this was very helpful.
Honored to help!
Great video! I think you did a really good job with the camera work, you zoomed in very clearly on those tiny little windows
Awesome!this is the great video to learned
Thanks.
Getting ready for my PPL written, helped a lot! Thank you!
Glad I could help and congrats.
Super simple, super easy. Much thanks for the video!!!
You’re welcome Kendal!
Thanks Dawg!
Welcome Dawg!
HEY! I CHECKED YOUR CHANNEL AND THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE STUFF LIKE THIS ON IT! THANKS FOR THE VID! also take me flying! looks like you live not far from me and im just getting into this
Very good help ! many thanks.
Welcome
Awesome vid man! E6b stuff has always been difficult for me. Good stuff.
Peter Anderson thanks!
thanks ;-) super helpful, I also couldn't remember, and this video made it nice and easy. Great job overviewing. #sub.

absolutely great vid. love the detail, really broke it down step by step to make it extremely understandable
Truly a life saver. Bless your soul.
Thanks!
Thanks Tyler! You're a hero!
Glad to help
Because I always calculate my CAS before every single flight. Comes in very handy.
Thanks
I didn’t understand shit, I’m gonna get an electronic e6b…. Good video tho
Thank you i have the same book as you and this got me i just could not get my head round it to do it, but with this video i can do it now thank you for show us how it done on this video great job and great video mate thank you
THANK you so much for your help! you're amazing
A true hero, also doing instrument, because it is online this stuff is hard to understand! Thanks man!
Thanks

+Daniel My pleasure.
Looked this up preparing for my Private pilot oral... great quality and great info easy to follow
Awesome glad to hear!
Keep your head cool and start calculating according the right way
But cruising altitude is not PA unless is std...
thanks for the video
