[. . . ] Use the arrow keys to change the heading in the box at the top of the screen. In the example shown, the heading is 39° magnetic. This gives us a wind speed of 11. 5 knots on a bearing of 44° magnetic, for an 11. 4 knot headwind. E6B Wind Speed/Direction Calculator 55 Vertical Navigation Calculator With the Vertical Navigation Calculator, the AirMap 2000 can help you decide when to let down for an approach to an airport. To get to the vertical navigation calculator menu: while in Aviation Mode, press MENU|MENU| to AVIATION CALCULATORS|ENT| to VERTICAL NAV |ENT. (The command only works when you are navigating to a waypoint. ) In the following example, we're travelling to the Wichita Mid-Continent airport in Wichita, Kansas. Its identifier is shown at the bottom of the screen ­ KICT. We are travelling at 4500 feet, and need to be at the pattern altitude (about 2300 feet) by 5 nautical miles from the airport using a 450 fpm descent. After determining the above information, use or to highlight each field, then press ENT. In each box, use the arrow keys to enter the data. When you're finished, highlight ON next to the "Vertical Nav" label and press ENT. A screen similar to the one below appears. The solution to our vertical navigation problem shows at the top of the screen. Our current altitude is 4500 feet and at our current airspeed, we should begin our descent in 44 minutes and 20 seconds. If we maintain a 450 fpm descent starting in about 44 minutes, then we should reach pattern altitude 5 nautical miles before we reach the airport. You can watch the clock count down your approach. If you increase your speed, the clock will decrease more quickly. Either way, when you reach the point at which you should begin your descent, the box at the top of the screen changes. Now in place of the timer, it indicates that you should be descending. Below that, it shows the altitude you should be at.
