True Course (TC): 270°. Wind: 240° at 20 knots. TAS: 110 kts. What is your Wind Correction Angle (WCA) and Ground Speed (GS)?
The most complex part of the E6B is the "wind side." You must determine your to find your Heading , and calculate your Groundspeed based on headwind or tailwind components. e6b flight computer exercises
