An E6-B flight computer is a rotating Dial that helps calculate out information required for pilots. The Dials when rotated can help figure out fuel burn, time of flight, and temperature conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius
The back of the flight computer. This side is used to determine ground speed and cross wind correction based off of the current days winds and your heading.
The directory provides contact information for pilots before and during flight. It contains diagrams of the airports showing the runways for planning take offs and landings and has frequencies for facilities.
The Phonetic Alphabet is used in almost every aspect of flight. Over the radio it can be difficult to understand individual letters because they sound similar. The phonetic alphabet assigns a word to each letter. Each word is unique in its sound.
