Aviation Utilities
To help you with flight planning, this unit has four aviation utilities
built into it that let you calculate density altitude, true airspeed, wind
speed and direction, plus vertical navigation.
NOTE:
AirMap also includes a set of five general-purpose utilities. These
are discussed in Sec. 4,
Utilities.
E6B Altitude/Airspeed Calculator
The Altitude/Airspeed Calculator lets you calculate density altitude or
true airspeed. The screen in the following image appears.
For each item in the top portion of the screen, press the enter key, use
