1. Set Wind: Put 320° under the index.
2. Mark Wind: Mark a dot 25 knots up from the grommet.
3. Set Runway: Rotate the disk to align the Runway Heading (360°/000°) under the True Index.

   • Heading (unknown initially)
   • Wind vector (direction/speed)
   • Course line
   1. Time: 180 NM at 105 kt → minutes?
   2. Fuel: 2.5 hours at 9.2 GPH → gallons?
   3. Density Altitude: Pressure alt 3500 ft, OAT +30°C → DA?
   4. TAS: CAS 95 kt, PA 6000 ft, OAT -5°C → TAS?
   5. Wind: TC 180°, TAS 110 kt, Wind 210°/15 kt → WCA & GS?
   6. Crosswind: Runway 220°, Wind 250°/18 kt → headwind & crosswind?
   7. Conversion: 75 SM to NM?
