when setting up a real world flight plan,with out the use of computers and and other electronic aids.how would one figure out ( im not going to attempt "calculate" again) how long the trip between point "A" and point "B" will be?...some folks may say its not important..but if hauling pax,or even some cargo's..say a time sensitive cargo,like a organ transplant,how do you do it?...lets use a Beechcraft C90 like the Carenado one,and you have to cross atleast three states min..

i havent a clue,but..speed?..altitude?..fuel flow?..distance ofcourse..

and if you can use a PC and other tools..what would you use?.....again..im not talking about flight simulators..thats why i asked here,not FSX..(and yes,it just dawned on me,this isnt news...but i dont know where else to ask it that people read...)

E6B. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B
Doesn't require batteries.


In the Star Trek episode "The Naked Time", Mr. Spock uses an E-6B to calculate the time of impact of the Enterprise with a planet. In the episodes "Mudd's Women" and "Who Mourns for Adonias", he is again seen holding an E-6B.
Apparently in the future, even Spock does it "Old School".... :icon_lol:

Use mine for Flight Sim. :kilroy:
