A simple e6b flight calculator
Project description
E6B
Simple python project to perform E6B flight calculations
Installation
$ pip install e6b
Usage
Calculate required flight bearing and final ground speed
from e6b import e6b
windSpeed = 10
windBearing = 90
trueAirSpeed = 15
desiredBearing = 180
correctedBearing,correction = e6b.getCorrectedBearing(windSpeed,windBearing,trueAirSpeed,desiredBearing)
groundSpeed = e6b.getGroundSpeed(windSpeed,windBearing,trueAirSpeed,desiredBearing,correction)
print(correctedBearing)
>> 138.18968510422138
print(groundSpeed)
>> 11.180339887498947
Using radians instead of degrees
from e6b import e6b
windSpeed = 10
windBearing = 1.5708
trueAirSpeed = 15
desiredBearing = 3.14159
correctedBearing,correction = e6b.getCorrectedBearing(windSpeed,windBearing,trueAirSpeed,desiredBearing,True)
groundSpeed = e6b.getGroundSpeed(windSpeed,windBearing,trueAirSpeed,desiredBearing,correction,True)
print(correctedBearing)
>> 2.4118623437909346
print(groundSpeed)
>> 11.180276619728994
